Having seen how difficult it is to get to Lisbon from Madrid has anybody tried Madrid  to Seville then 3 hrs bus ride to Faro?

Regular trains then to Lisbon take about 3hrs.

Not quite what you are after but maybe useful.

I´ve done it once the other way with many more changes and a short ferry ride over the border=river and walk to busstation and then again walk bus-train in Huelva. But I think by now one cannot even do that anymore, and the new bridge/motorway does indeed shorten it a lot. Just check how the bus/train stations are located- I think in SVL quite a distance apart. But there is a metro now too.

Seems frequency of buses varies a lot with season

All in all same nr of changes=2 as all the way by train via Badajoz-Elvas-Entroncamento, plus that I just read in trade-press that on PT side they are recasting the timetable and maijng it a whopping 2!! links/day.
