Hi Alicia,
We only found out about the « carta dorado » that would have given us 40%off once in Sevilla. We had bought tickets on internet and paid 111€ One way for the two of us.
The train goes to Granada where you change and get through security to go on the Avant, the fast train. Then it stops at Cordoba where I would suggest you stop for one night, and then Sevilla. We left Almeria at 10.30am and got to Sevilla at 3.45pm.
From then we used our « carta dorada » and got our reductions.
We came back a different way as we went to stay with friends in Marbella and took a train from Sevilla to Malaga.
It’s difficult to return from Sevilla to Almeria without staying overnight in Almeria as the train leaves Sevilla at 7.20 pm and gets to Almeria at 12.30am.
Alternatively you could get a bus leaving Sevilla at 1pm that gets you to Almeria at 6.15pm . You would have to either stay in Almeria overnight or coordinate your return date where Exclusive Airport Shuttle have a late transfer at the airport and come back that way.
You can also fly to Sevilla from Almeria, 2 flights a day, one early morning, one in evening.
The train journey is very enjoyable as you go through great sceneries.
Bon voyage!
