@thibcabe I believe this may be my final question regarding Spain… what if I were to get my friend to reserve the tickets for us at the station? Would that work?
@thibcabe hi it’s me again.. sightseeing and trying to plan at the same time again.. My favourite option : - TER Avignon - Portbou 09:32 - 13:47 - R Portbou - Barcelona-Plaça de Catalunya 14:35 - 17:05 - have a coffee or an ice cream in the Barri Gottic, subway or regional train to Sants station - AVE Barcelona-Sants - Zaragoza-Delicias 18:40 - 20:23 10€ available on eurail.com - Intercity Zaragoza-Delicias - Tafalla 20:48 - 22:02 6.50€ reservation or 15.80€ ticket (25 seats available right now so that's good enough) I’m leaning towards this great option too. With regards to the intercity Zaragoza ticket, can it be booked online through Spanish railways? And in your opinion would it be safe to reserve it just to save some extra cash heheh
@thibcabe thanks again. I hadn’t refreshed the page when you replied lol. I’ll go through all of this - thank you again for your awesome help 😎
@thibcabe so I may have to sacrifice a day of relaxation and exploration in Avignon (Thursday) for travel (to Barcelona for example) to allow me enough time to get to Tafalla on Friday using reservation free trains.Wednesday - Parma to AvignonThursday - Avignon to BarcelonaFriday - Barcelona to Tafalla This would put me at 5 travel days used… I do recall you mentioned purchasing Barcelona to Tafalla outright instead of using a travel day (silly me) but I didn’t know for certain at the time. Each day is a learning experience… -_- - Intercity Barcelona-Sants - Tafalla 18:45 - 22:05 4 seats left (so a bit risky) Spain is a pain for rail travel... This option is only available through in person reservation at Spanish ticket office?
@thibcabe ahhhh that’s unfortunate… I am in Parma for another night, hoping to leave tomorrow morning for Avignon. I believe I can get there reservation free in one day (Parma 06:12 - Avignon Centre 21:31) so was planning to spend Thursday in Avignon to just relax and see what there is and then leave for Tafalla Friday morning. From what I can see, Avignon to Barcelona-Sants is reservation free? In Port-Bou am I enquiring about a reservation for the Barcelona-Sants to Tafalla train ride? And because I can only find out in person that means I just have to hope for the best haha
Hi @thibcabe. Currently in Parma! I was wondering if you have any advice on where to book this train route? Avignon to Zaragoza-Delicias? Plans have changed slightly…. 🙈
@thibcabe I cannot thank you enough! You have given valuable insight which I will process and should I have any more questions I will refer back to this post. THANK YOU!!
@ralderton thank you for your comment! Greetings from South Africa, by the way! I have been looking at seat61.com and will continue to do so.@thibcabe thank you for your comment as well :) I look forward to your later comment, this is really helpful information that I would not have been able to figure out myself! Would you say that 10 travel days are not enough to cover the distance that we would like to cover whilst avoiding reservations at all costs?
