Trying to make seat reservations on Renfe to travel from San Sebastián to Vigo via Madrid, preferably on AVE from 9 July 2025 (doing it in two/three hops). When do these seats become available to book ? I can see there are tickets on Renfe for these dates but they don’t appear to be on AVE trains. Very difficult to understand the system and when tickets are available to buy.

It’s very difficult to understand Renfe, the Spanish railway operator. They’re not very customer friendly.
Bookings will open, don’t worry. But RENFE is just notouriously late in uploading its schedules. Wait another two/three weeks, and you’ll probably be able to reserve.
