Not gonna jump through hoops to go to Spain. I’ll cancel the Spain leg and stay in France. Who would have thought the French treat tourists better than the Spanish. Maybe Eurail should put something in writing on the, “select the best Eurail option” page that Eurail is useless for Spain.
We’re travelling in France and Spain. We have booked to Barcelona, no issue. To tell you the truth I’d just as soon cancel our Valencia Airbnb booking and turn around and go back to France. Not gonna book any more accommodation in Spain if there is the chance we cannot book trains. I hear the Spanish hate tourists anyway. Didn’t know it was such a hassle when we bought the Eurail passes. Didn’t think to do an internet search on “the hassles of using Eurail in Spain”. Well, we live and learn.
So I book accommodation in Valencia. Arrive in Barcelona, ring Renfe, or go there in person, if that’s not too much trouble for them, hope the train is not booked out, maybe get a ticket to Valencia, if not we’ve wasted our money booking and planning ahead, and getting a Eurail pass, which seems a bit useless in Spain.
