Travel Spain By Train
Traveling by train and bus in Spain?
I need to go by train from Seville to Cadiz on the 18th of June and by bus from Cadiz to Granada on the 22nd of June. Is there a website where I can purchase these tickets in advance, or do I have to wait until I get there to buy them? Anyone with experience traveling in Spain please let me know ASAP! Thanks.
Foreigners find it difficult buying train tickets online for Spanish travel - and with good reason. First, the website can be confusing ( http://www.renfe.es ) even though there's an English version, once you take a few steps through it it changes to Spanish.
You CAN buy the tickets online but, I believe, if you don't LIVE IN Spain you have to pickup your tickets at the station the first time. Once they verify your account (by your presence, I.D., and checking your credit card) you can then buy them online thereafter.
I just bought train tickets online for the first time but I have a Spanish national I.D. number and live here so it was easier for me. I was able to print out the tickets as well.
When creating your account you'll be asked for your ID number. You can use your Passport number but there are too many numbers on your passport than are allowed in the account field - I think.
I have quite a bit of experience traveling around Spain by train and only a little by bus. I much prefer train travel even if it is more expensive. It's DEFINITELY more comfortable.
