Valencia to Seville by road

The fastest driving route is 656 km (407 mi) long and takes about 7 hr 15 min without stops or traffic. It runs mostly on the A-4 (349 km), the A-3 (171 km), and the A-43 (123 km).

It goes through 3 autonomous communities: the Valencian Community (108 km), Castilla–La Mancha (266 km), and Andalusia (282 km). That’s an average of 90 km/h (56 mph). Spain’s traffic authority (DGT) recommends a break every two hours or 200 km: with 3 stops of 20 minutes, the trip takes about 8 hr 15 min. The time is OSRM’s estimate with OpenStreetMap data: no traffic and speeds somewhat below the limits, so real trips can differ.

Straight-line distance and bearing

In a straight line, the shortest distance over the Earth’s surface, Valencia and Seville are 542 km (337 mi) apart. That’s the geodesic on the WGS84 ellipsoid, the distance “as the crow flies”.

The road is 21% longer: for every 100 km in a straight line you drive 121. That’s a normal detour between two cities. Of the 120 Spanish driving pairs in this series, it ranks 74th for detour (the average is 24%).

From Valencia, Seville lies to the southwest (bearing 247°), and from Seville, Valencia lies to the northeast. The straight line reaches Seville on a bearing of 243°: on a sphere the bearing keeps changing along the way, which is why the shortest route looks slightly curved on a flat map.

Halfway between Valencia and Seville

Halfway along the straight line, 271 km (168 mi) from each city, is the point 38.4630° N, 3.2263° W. It falls near Castellar de Santiago (Ciudad Real, pop. 1,714), 9.7 km away. The nearest town of 20,000 people or more is Valdepeñas (Ciudad Real, pop. 30,782), 35.8 km away.

By road, the halfway point is 328 km (204 mi) from each city, near Valdepeñas (Ciudad Real, pop. 30,782), 2.3 km away. The two midpoints are 38.0 km apart: if you want to meet halfway, the one on the road is the useful one.

By plane

A direct flight would take about 1 hr 10 min. That’s an estimate: 30 minutes for takeoff, climb, descent and landing, plus the 542 km straight line at 800 km/h (about 497 mph), a typical airliner cruising speed. Real schedules depend on wind, routing and airports, and not every pair has a direct flight.
