hi guys,
at october 9th stars our IR tour through these countries. we are 4 guys and plan to buy the 10/22 IR ticket,we already booked a flight to girona barcelona. the question is if the route is nice or we can maybe avoid something. we sleep in hostels.
girona - barcelona by bus
barcelona 3 days
barcelona - valencia (our IR begins)
valencia 2 days
valencia - cordoba
cordoba 2 days
cordoba - sevilla
sevilla 2 days
sevilla - huelva - lissabon (train-bus-train route)
lissabon 3 days
lissabon - san sebastian by sudexpress
sanse 3 days
san sebastian - bordeaux
bordeaux 2 days
bordeaux - brussel
brussel 1 day
brussel - amsterdam

amsterdam - german border and then back home to bremen
have we forgotten something which seems important to you? whats about lagos going clubbing a little bit? or it is all about being flexible? maybe we should see the alhambra in granada.

hej hej ...
sounds good your route...
but keep in mind the supplements in Spain: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
I see you planed already a lot ... so maybe you know these links:
- Sout of Spain - South of Portugal: [u]https://rail.cc/en/sevilla-algarve-bus-train/f1434[/u]
- Sud Express: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train/lisbon-hendaye-th-310/74[/u]
- Lisbon hostels (real cheap and cool ones - one of the best hostel cities of Europe): [u]https://rail.cc/en/lisbon/accommodation/c[/u]
. maybe try a stop somewhere at the beaches of the Algarve. even in October it's good and sunny there! :)
- if you have the time to stop in Granada, definitely visit the Alhambra.
- on your way back Paris - Brussels (avoid the expensive THALYS): [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/paris-to-amsterdam[/u]
- Brussels-Amsterdam: use free IC trains, NOT the THALYS (expensive supplements!!)
- and if you like our project and the forum, support it and buy your tickets at [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]
delivery is by secure and express mail (24/48 hours on business days)
have fun, Peter :)

hey peter, oh I made a fault, we will start at september 9th :) ) no different in the route, just in the temperature maybe :) its difficult to see all things u want to with the 22/10 ticket. whats about arachon? dune du pyla? surely we try to avoid the supplements, barc-valencia, cordoba-sevilla we will take a regional train and also sevilla-huelva-termino. maybe we shouldnt visit bruxelles. hmmm, will see.
do u need a creditcard for the shop?

mmmh Arcachon ... I am not a fan of it... but you will find a lot of camp sites around there - easily ... and meet as well a lot of people. :)
there is a train station in Arcachon ... then have a look at the buses:www.baia-cobas.fr
number 1 will be the interesting one for you. fare should be EUR 1 ... :)
and yes ... for the shop you need a credit card.

all are with supplements: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/spain/es[/u]
either Arco or Alaris with a supplement each of EUR 6,50.
the 410 is also with supplement as it is long distance coming from Salamanca.
you can also use a regional train which runs Donostia (San Sebastian) to Hendaye - for details ask in San Sebastian: [u]http://www.euskotren.es/castellano/horarios/home2.html[/u]

hi again,
now i am borrowing a rucksack of a friend. the problem is(it' s a 75 l rucksack) that we only booked hand-baggage (max. 10 kg) for our flight to girona. we will fly with ryanair. the measure is 63 * 35 * 25 and allowed is 55*40*20. do you think there will be problems? whats your experiences with ryanair?
thank you =)

there will be problems... this is my experience.
in the past I often used Ryanair - but I stopped using it. such a bad service, always hidden supplements, cancelled flights and so on ... :(
