We're planning on getting 22 day every day passes but would like to do Benicassim and Pamplona bull run. We would fly out to Amsterdam and at the end of the holiday I thought we'd get the train form Benicassim(Barcelona) to paris and fly home again. so it would work out like this.
24thJune Fly to amsterdam
25thJune Interail starts
~15 days travelling our route.(Amsterdam, Hamburg, berlin-prague-Munich-Florence-Barcelona)
Late on the 10th Arrive in pamplona
Early 10th Bull run then back to barcelona and train to Benicassim
16th Train to Barcelona and then to paris.
I just wandered as this is being planned by a group of immature and irresponsible young men if this was possible. Any advice would be so useful. Especially about the last part as flying from any airport near Benicassim seems so expensive.Also if we're trying to do too much it would be very useful if we could be told and we can adjust the route.

Hi.
For your planed route, even a 10 days in 22 days Interrail Global Pass might be fine, it depends on your exact route:

[b]Hamburg - Berlin[/b]: free of extra fees.

[b]Prague - Munich[/b]: free
[u]https://rail.cc/en/train/prague-to-munich[/u]
[b]Munich - Florence[/b]: possible by night train. See the route Munich-Rome:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/train/munich-to-rome[/u]
[b]Florence - Pamplona[/b]: this is a long trip. You have different options.
By train:
Florence - Milan, then by direct and expensive night train to Barcelona.
Florence - Nice (France) - Barcelona: by slower trains, cheaper. But you will need an overnight stop in Nice for example.
Check the connections Rome - Barcelona which will help you:

By ferry:
Italy to Spain... relaxing and you can sleep overnight.
[u]https://rail.cc/en/civitavecchia/ferry/c[/u]
[b]Pamplona - Barcelona[/b]: direct trains with reservation fee (EUR 6,50). It is in direction of Salamanca / Irun. Travel time ~ 4h.
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/alvia-renfe/30[/u]
[b]Barcelona - Paris[/b]: I recommend the route trough the Pyrenees, using the Petit Train Jaune! :)
[u]https://rail.cc/en/train/barcelona-to-paris[/u]
[b]Paris - UK[/b]:
Instead of flying, you could also use the ferry Calais-Dover, or an Eurolines bus (one-way ~EUR 35) from Paris to London (including the ferry).

And if you like the railcc project and all this information, support it and buy your official Interrail pass at the railcc shop. Thank you! :)
