We want to travel (via France) in Spain and Portugal with the interrail-ticket in July and August.Do you have any tips for these countries?For example we found out that in France they only have limited capacities for interrailers and now we are way too late for reserving high-speed-trains in France, which is a big problem. If we would have known that earlier… So maybe there are similar things we should know about Spain and Portugal?E.g. is it true that we can reserve seats only at local train stations in Spain and Portugal? Is it possible that then they are sold out as well?Is it possible to explore also smaler towns and villages with the interrail-ticket in these countries or is the railroad network too bad? Are there maybe buses we are allowed to use?Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
My friend and me got a global pass for 2 month. We want to leave 10th of July and travel through France and Spain to Portugal. Now we wanted to reservate the trains on the website interrail.eu and found out that nearly EVERY train is booked out EVERY day EVERY time (we planned: Mannheim - Paris - Toulouse or Narbonne - Madrid and a little in Portugal). We know that we could use the slow trains but then it will take ~100h to get somewhere...How is this possible? We feel a little cheated because we bought the global pass for a lot of money but now we can not really use it?What are our options? Or how can we get our money back and just book a flight for the same money? -.-We are very desperate at the moment, thanks a lot for your help!Carolin and Anna
