First step: Open an excel spreadshit 3 months ahead of the desired date Step two: Start writting down the prices of the trains you are interested. 3: Next day check renfe page again to ser how prices changed, draw a graph and try to detect the minimum to know when to buy Thank you renfe, you made it imposible to travel by train for a reasonable price in Spain

We did go to Iryo's site to arrange a trip with a meal - something we could not get done on Trainline. We did have bit of a scare when our Renfe from Zaragoza was cancelled at the last minute, but that we made it back to Madrid after a bit of chaos at the station. Keep up the informative videos - they are the clearest and most informative of all the ones I viewed before our trip.

Thanks, Rick. In the specific case of the Trainline, we were users of the platform before we began promoting it as an answer to the problems posed by Renfe's website. With the arrival of other high-speed companies, the Trainline became an essential tool. We made sure the price paid at the Trainline would be the same as elsewhere. We've decided against recommending websites, even if we could make money out of it, when we felt they didn't offer a good deal to our followers. As for Seville, we just published a new video on the city here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eInSlHuhZ9iCaa8 All the best!

I ended purchasing my AVE tickets through trainline because Renfe website kept stalling on the payment page. I read that they often have trouble with foreign credit cards.

Hi Teresa, we've never paid any extra fees when purchasing tickets at the Trainline (the reason why we recommend it), but as you point out it might be a regional thing. In terms of easy of use, it's like day and night when you compared it to the Renfe website. On top of that, with the Trainline you can research tickets for other high-speed operators too.

Thanks Tony, for your clear and sensible advice. I worried when I couldn't buy my train tickets at first, but I followed your advice, checked back every now and then, and now I have them all booked. (Although the luggage thing is a little unclear, they seem to be suggesting we can each take on 3 pieces, including a larger bag - Renfe and Iryo - which contradicts your information ... I will check their sites again, thanks to your warning!). Your videos are SO informative - I feel like it's a course called Spain 101! One question - we will be in Granada for 4 nights - do you recommend staying in Ronda or Granada?

When I connect to a server in Spain via VPN, I am able to see Iryo and Ouigo appear in the results. When I perform the same search connecting directly from the USA, then I no longer see Iryo and Ouigo in the results. I have not done extensive testing, but I wonder if this is true when searching from other countries as well.

As of December 21st 2022 the websites will not allow a ticket purchase. I am wondering if it will not work because 15 weeks in advance is too far into the future?

Hi Tony, I have one trip from Seville to Granada in May that is causing me a bit of trouble (when all the other train trips around it seem okay). Trainline and Omio do not show any trains available for this route. Renfe shows a couple of options with a changeover in Córdoba. My earlier research suggested that there are some direct trains as well and if I look at the next couple of weeks, yes there are direct Seville-Granada trains shown in March but no later. Could it really just be that Renfe hasn't released this particular route yet for April and May when they are already up to May on other routes?

Hi Tony. Thank you so much for your videos. You have been our exclusive source of information for planning our first trip to Spain. I would like to ask you what does "DNI" and "NIE" document types stand for when trying to purchase a ticket. We are EU cirltizens, so we travel with national ID and not a passport. So I don't know what to choose and Google search did not come up with any results. Thank you in advance.

Hi Panos, great to hear we are being helpful. DNI and NIE are official Spanish ID documents. If you don't have a passport number, write down the number of your national ID card in the place reserved for the passport. The company just wants the number to make sure you are the person using the ticket on the day of travel. It's not as tight a control as with airlines. All the best!

We've been booking our tickets with the Trainline for the last ten years or more (even when the company had a different name) and not once have we paid for a booking fee, not ONCE. It might be a regional thing we are not aware of. One euro is not much in exchange for the service provided, but if we were aware fees were involved we would certainly disclose it. Like we said, it might be a charge specific to some markets. Here in Spain we don't pay booking fees. Thanks for your gesture.

In any case, after purchase you always end up on a confirmation page with the ticket locator number. And if you created an account (always a wise thing to do), you can enter your account and find your tickets there.

A question, if you don't mind. I purchased tickets via thetrainline a couple of weeks ago for a trip in May. I didn't see these tickets available on Renfe but they were available on thetrainline. This was more than 90 days ahead of our scheduled train trips. Do you happen to know why thetrainline had the tickets and Renfe did not? I used loco2 to buy train tickets 5 years ago but I've seen many people recommend thetrainline so I used that this time. Has there ever been an issue with the tickets that thetrainline issues that you're aware of? I was reading on a forum that routes could get cancelled but I'm thinking the two routes that I purchased tickets for (Madrid to Granada and Malaga to Madrid) likely won't get cancelled.

Don't know which forum you read but routes don't get cancelled any more than plane routes get cancelled. If you have the ticket, the route won't get cancelled. By the way, 90 days is not way ahead of time, way ahead of time is 6 or 7 months in advance, like we always try to do to get the best prices. All the best.

Hi Tony. Just found your Channel. Thanks for the great info. My friend and I plan to travel from Barcelona to Madrid late Sept. We plan to stop at some nice places along the way to Madrid. Would you be kind enough to suggest the best way and places to visit? We only have 3 days. Thank you. Cheers from Down Under.

Hi Elfleda, you could spend a couple of nights in Zaragoza, other than that, there are no major destinations or interest points along the way. You will need to buy a high-speed train from Barcelona to Zaragoza, and a second ticket from Zaragoza to Madrid. All the best!

Hi Tony. Love the video. I tried using the link under the video. All the dates I enter for Nov and Dec say no tickets are available. I also checked to make sure that I had the correct station name for Madrid and Malaga. I am sure what I am doing wrong. Please help. Thank you!

Hi Karen, we've just checked for trains from Madrid to Málaga in November and found multiple results. However, trains for the second half of December haven't been introduced in the system yet. You will have to wait a bit more. All the best!

Hi, Jacinthe, you will have to wait a bit more. On our video with tips on the high-speed train in Spain kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4rZhqFjqK-rkJY we explain how with RENFE is nearly impossible to tell when will the tickets be made available.

Hi Tony, my husband and I are traveling from San Sebastian to Barcelona, then onto Madrid and then Granada. We are staying 3 nights in each city. Our travel will take place over 7 days. We want to travel by train and are wondering if we should buy individual tickets for each destination or buy one ticket and break the journey with 3 stops. We are also wondering the best way to get from Granada to Lisbon

Hi Jacquie, you will have to buy individual tickets, you cannot break high-speed train trips. If you ask us about the Granada-Lisbon trip on a Q&A video, we will reply to your question there (as it is totally unrelated to the topic of this video).

hey, love your videos, they’ve helped me plan a lot! I’m travelling from Barcelona to Valencia in mid august, is it still too early to book tickets now? I see some tickets are available, but not sure if there will be more options that come up closer to the date.

Hi there, it's not too early to buy those tickets. Bear in mind there is no high-speed train between those two cities.

Any idea if we go on train from Barcelona to Valencia which side of seat to choose for sea view for the journey (Renefe on 1st Class ticket) We found Omio site for ticket purchase is this the best place to buy train ticket. Can we book seat for sea view? I think in 1st class 2 seat and once seat configuration no idea which seat to choose for view. Thanks

Going from Barcelona to Valencia the sea will be on the left of the carriage, so you will have to book a seat on that side of the train. For us, no site beats the Trainline.
