Ok so I leave on June 5th on a two month Euro trip. I am responsible for the travel plans in spain for two weeks. I've narrowed my itinerary down to Madrid, Toledo, Sevilla, Granada, San Sebastian, and Barcelona in that order. Am I going to have trouble moving from place to place? and which would be best seen by bus or should I always take train. Thanks alot I just found this webpage and it's awesome.

Hey sillyjo, silljer here Big Grin

Sounds like a sweet itinerary in Spain ya got planned there Smiler

For short trips like Madrid-->Toledo, the local short distance Renfe trains are great (see http://www.renfe.es/ingles for "Timetables & Prices" in English) and of course the AVE super train from Madrid to Sevilla is awesome (but a bit expensive if ya ask me). Take the AVE if you are in a hurry but keep in mid it costs about 5 times what a bus does from Madrid to Sevilla.

On the other trajectories, take the bus since the rail tracks in Spain are poorly laid out to say the least Eeker

See the thread on San Sebasti�n HERE to see what I mean about the train vs bus question.

The bus is cheaper and usually faster than the train in Spain.

Have an awesome time and don't forget to report back with us here on the board Big Grin

Saludos,
jer...
