Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows if the train from Malaga to Barcelona is one train or if we have switch trains in Madrid?

Journey time of 5hr 45min would see me considering flight alternatives.

Nearly 6 hours on the train, but tickets purchased 2 months in advance are only €35 each. Flying may save you an hour or two, but will probably cost more (add getting to/from the airport). The train is comfortable, you can relax, have a picnic meal, catch up on your blog, your reading or your sleep.

I was going to take Renfe until I discovered restrictions they had. So I opted for the bus Alsa.es they have an English setting. Renfe frustrated me with the difficulty in purchasing a ticket. Alsa was simple and they have wifi...if you don't mind busing it.

A bus from Malaga to Barcelona? That would be a loooong ride.
The trick to getting tickets on the RENFE website is to use Paypal to pay. Trying to use a US credit card is frustrating and often impossible no matter what kind of card it is or how many steps you take. The Paypal option is quick and easy.
