Maribel or someone who speaks Spanish- please help

Hi-
I am trying to buy tickets on line for the bus from Seville to Granada. I have cut and pasted into Google translation enough that I have gotten to the last page where I have to put in my credit card info, and although I know it wants the number and the expiration date, I can't figure out where to put the name of the credit card. Can someone guide me? thanks so much, as always....

If it doesn't ask you to specify the card as Visa or MC, it may be because that info is not necessary. The card number identifies it -- Visas start with 4, MCs with 5, Amex with 3, etc. Bon viaje.

jparis,
As kayd says, your card # identifies it as either a MC or Visa. What site are you using? Is it www.continental-auto.es?

Yes, I am using that website.
I read on an earlier thread that you can purchase tickets on line and then be able to print them out. I hope that's what I'll get when I finally am able to navigate my way. There is also a part on there that says "Titular de la tarjeta" and "Titular del Billete" - what goes in those spots?
Also, I've been trying to find you to ask about the holiday next Friday in Madrid, Santa de San Diego. I had no idea there was a holiday and I was trying to find out what would be affected. Most specifically, I want to know if the buses are running to Segovia, as we have a lunch reservation there. I have written the bus company, but they have not responded. Thanks again!

Hi jparis - we will be in Madrid next Friday too.. and planning to go to Segovia as well on Friday.. maybe we might be on the same bus if they are running.
I didnt see any postings here about tourism related services being affected due to the holiday. If you find information, please post here.

Thanks

jparis,
"Titular de la tarjeta" means the bearer of the credit card, the person whose name is on the card. "Titular del billete" means the bearer of the ticket. I'm sorry but I can't get the online sales function at www.continental-auto.es to work on my old imac. This is a common problem I have with Spanish web pages. Don't have a pc at home.

We'll be arriving in Madrid next Friday, 3/19/ el día de San José, going straight from Barajas to Gredos in our rental car. But there should be full bus service to Segovia on La Sepulvedana bus lines. It's a very popular weekend destination for madrileños, particularly when there's an official holiday. But this is a perfect question to pose to jer, the webmaster at
www.multimadrid.com

Sorry we won't be in same place at the same time - I would love to thank you in person for all that you've done....
