Seat reservations in Spain
At the end of the process, I get the error message “Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later or find another connection. This connection will be removed from your cart.”
Tried again and again Same result.
Very frustrating. Please help,

Like I said in my question above, the interrail.eu seat reservations website would frustratingly throw up an error on the page just before the payment page - AFTER I painstakingly put in everyone’s passport info etc.!!
After trying MULTIPLE times with the same result, I came to ask this community for help. Then, I wondered if my location had anything to do with this error. I was booking these reservations from the US. I used a VPN with a Madrid server, and tried again. This time, it worked! Instead of that maddening error, it actually took me to the payment page and I was able to conclude the transaction. For multiple reservations!!
Hope this helps others in a similar situation.
Which train, which date ? If you want precise advice you need to give more info.
Unfortunately most Spanish trains are not available on eurail.com, except AVEs and a few other ones. This is purely a decision by the company RENFE which doesn't like passholders…
Your alternatives include :
- visiting a German ticket counter
- wait until you're in Spain (no quota so as long as the train doesn't sell out you're fine)

Thanks for the hint. I tried it that way but couldnt find the page where you can book reservation only. i only see the offer of buying tickets. Any help? Thanks
