What do you mean by "redeem your pass"? Have you bought mobile passes or paper passes? I bought Mobile passes. When I look up train rides on Renfe, it seems that I have to pay for the tickets again. There’s not a feature for me to put in my Pass number.
You can, depending on what journeys you will make. But Spanish railways (RENFE) are a pain in the lower backside when it comes to making pass reservations, especially if you want to do that in advance. Fortunately for you, summer will be over soon and from September, it will not be so busy anymore and booking reservations a few days in advance will generally work. I have not been able to find ways to reserve train rides/seats on any sites/apps without have to pay again. That's because (I repeat) you can't book pass reservations online for Spanish domestic trains. Not anymore, because RENFE took down the interface that e.g. the Eurail website used. How do I use my Eurail Spain Passes then? I have to wait until I arrive in Spain and then go to a major train station to redeemy my Eurail passes? Thank you.
Unfortunately there isn't. See the link I posted earlier for ways to book Spanish trains. Hm….then I don’t understand the point of even buying an Eurail passes? How do I even use it? I thought by having the Eurail pass I can save on train fare. You can, depending on what journeys you will make.

@thecolorlavender You can't make any reservations for Spanish trains online so you should use the RENFE site. Purchasing tickets on that site is only if you don't have a Eurail or Interrail pass. I have the Eurail Spain passes. Please tell me how I can reserve train rides on Renfe without paying for the train rides again. I just want to be able to reserve the train rides and seats. When I selected the train rides on Renfe, it seems I will have to pay for the train rides again, it doesn’t let me redeem my Eurail pass.
is there a way for me to enter my Pass Number on the Renfe site, so I don't have to pay again? Unfortunately there isn't. See the link I posted earlier for ways to book Spanish trains.

But I have already purchased the Eurail Spain Pass ($800 for 2 adult first-class 8-day pass), is there a way for me to enter my Pass Number on the Renfe site, so I don't have to pay again?
Frankly: again someone who is grossly overworried-any person with normal sense takes the bus between these 2 (much more frequent, cheaper as full price, only a little bit slower-and it sets you down fat better to centre town). There are Avant (semi) hi-speed trenes about ev 90/120 mins between the 2 and these are hardly ever full.as read above. If you have a pass with passdays it might not even be worthwhile to use a passday vs normal tickets This is my first time going to Spain, that’s why I am seeking advice in this forum.
