Southern Spain: What Hi Speed Lines are Open?

[Envoy]

I want to do a journey that links Malaga > Granada > Cordoba > Seville > Malaga. When I looked into doing this last year, a high speed line linked Malaga with Cordoba and Cordoba with Seville but nothing else. I know that construction was taking place. Could someone please enlighten me as to the current situation and tell me when they expect all of these cities to be linked by high speed rail?

Madrid - Sevilla has been open a long time. The Cordoba - Malaga branch opened 2007.

Antequera - Granada (branching off the Malaga branch) is under construction, hopefully opens late this year. About 50 miles will be single track to save costs.

On the Seville-Malaga old line, you can see various bits of incomplete LAV on the way, starting and ending in the middle of nowhere.
The old line actually uses a bit of the new formation to cut off a few curves west of Bobadilla.

On the forum skyscrapercities there was a recent overview of what RENFE intends to open this year.
This includes Sevilla-Cadiz (is more like upgraded), and a branch into Granada (but I think only served to/fro Madrid). Also the line to Almeria is mentioned-but maybe later as this year. But no fixed dates as of now.
There are 4-5 daily direct HS-trains Mal-Sev. There are also 3-4 locals via the old route, much more scenic and cheaper.
BTW BUSes Malaga-Granada are still much quicker and much more frequent as trains.

Single track HSL? Will it still be high speed?
