New one month Spain pass from Renfe

One good thing is to be able to cancel a ticket online up to 15 minutes before departure and have that trip put back onto your pass with no penalty.

Thanks Lincasanova!! An interesting option for a long trip in Spain.

But will you actually be able to purchase the pass online when so many are unable to purchase a single ticket online? It appears to be part of the same terrible system that has pleagued us for the last two years after Renfe "upgraded" their online service.

I know. But at least it is available and could be bought at the airpot, etc to begin journeys immediately without worrying about fares, etc.

Normally I would advise against any rail pass for Spain but, for once, the prices look attractive.

I had to chuckle when I read "Renfe Spain Pass is a pass that allows non-residents in Spain to travel around the country." I am resident in Spain but all I have is a certificate to prove that.

That is because I hold a passport from another EU member state. There is nothing in my passport that marks me out as a resident. So I could walk up and buy a pass without anyone being any the wiser.

I will not, of course, since I have no urge to travel that much and I would not like to take advantage of RENFE´s foolishness.
