Hi,
I\'ve been trying to make a reservation using this link [ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/renfe[/ux] but I\'m not able to enter / type the cities in the details section. Is the website down?
We plan to leave 2 weeks, and so far have made reservations from London to Marseille to Barcelona, but having difficulties now doing the Spain part. Plan is to stay in Seville for a few days, then Grenada.
Thanks for the help

Hi and welcome to rail.cc,
are you travelling with a rail pass/Interrail?
I have just checked, it seems that the ACP site is currently not working properly. I have experienced the same issue last week (not being able to enter city names) and it was resolved within a few hours/the following day.
At this point I can only recommend to try tomorrow again - for Interrail reservations you can also use [ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/reservation[/ux].

Hi Flo,
Many thanks. Yes it is with the interrail Global pass.
Yes I was able to search today for reservations from Barcelona to Savilla. But now we\'re thinking of going to Granada first from Barcelona, but couldn\'t find any tickets/reservations options.
Would you advise taking the fast train to Sevilla and then regional train/bus to Grenada?
Thanks!

There are construction works in the area of Granada on the line from Granada to Antequera Santa Ana (towards Algeciras and Sevilla). The direct night train Barcelona - Granada unfortunately is withdrawn.
I would recommend to travel to Sevilla first; then go to Granada. If possible, book a seat on one of the two direct AVE (high speed trains) from Barcleona to Sevilla, this would save you changing trains in Madrid and 10€. [ux]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/ave-renfe/23[/ux]
You also need a reservation for the MD (Media Distancia) train from Sevilla to Granada. [ux]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/media-distancia-renfe/43[/ux]
Reservations including the replacement bus service on the way to Granada are available only locally at the Spanish train stations as far as I know.
If you choose to go to Granada first, the best option would be to travel to Madrid, then take one of the "direct" trains to Granada which currently also include a replacement bus service. As mentioned above, reservations are only available locally at a station.
In Barcelona, you could go to [ux]https://rail.cc/en/barcelona/barcelona-franca-railway-station/l1033[/ux] to get your reservations, I assume that there will be less people around compared to [ux]https://rail.cc/en/barcelona/barcelona-sants-railway-station/l127[/ux] which is always quite crowded.
