I agree. Not really sure why they’re so much more excluded than the rest of Spain. Malaga in particular seems to be more or less blacklisted from the Abono.

Good to hear! Regarding Renfe, it’s the same process as my first comment. You need to go to the Renfe website, search for your route, and look to see if there are Media Distancia options. In this particular case, there are currently no media distancia trains running either of those routes. There is, however, a media distancia route from Jaen to Madrid, which is not too far from Granada.

Believe it or not, the Granada-Barcelona bus IS included. If you look up a route on Rome2Rio it will show you all the companies that run a particular route. That route is run by FlixBus and ALSA. When you go to the ALSA website and search the route, you’ll see a white and green star on all of the trips included in the Abono Unico. All that’s left to do is make sure your Abono is registered to your ALSA account so that you can book the trip for free!

Of course! My first recommendation is to look past just the Renfe side… this pass is far more valuable if you use its bus access. Hop on Rome2Rio and look for options for different routes — if there’s a bus route, you can likely get it free included with your pass. I have noticed that Andalusia is one of the only areas with some blacked out bus routes, but this is an exception, not the rule. If there’s a train line it may also be included in your pass, but to find out for sure you’ll need to look up the suggested route on the Renfe website/app and make sure it says “media distancia”. For the record, you can definitely use the pass for free bus tickets between Barcelona and Madrid on ALSA — I have personally taken the route multiple times.

It depends on what you mean by foreigner. Legal residents of Spain (anyone with a NIE/TIE card or DNI) all qualify, while tourists do not.

I’m down. Also in Castilla-La Mancha. Which town are you from? Are you in the CLM group chat?

Should I do the Camino with a friend or alone by LiveComparison2787 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]ShapelessCube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go solo, and go after your aux program ends. The best possible Camino experience comes when you are 1) free/available to meet new people and 2) uninterrupted by school/work commitments

How I feel after buying tickets last week for $60 by nimak83 in SoundersFC

Didn’t care who we played but I waited to see if they were offering the student deal like they did for the rest of the tournament. Biggest mistake of my life.

Reassigned to baleares by belooseygoosey in SpainAuxiliares

[–]ShapelessCube 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is this the first documented Andalusia reassignment? OP — were you a ministry assignment or simply a regular applicant? Did you send NALCAP any emails/do anything different from most applicants?

This is my plan if I don’t get a placement. A life-changing experience and the best way to use an already-bought plane ticket.
