I'd like to know how many days prior to departure the Renfe railroad site will sell tickets. I can find schedules for June but no prices. There are prices shown for March. Also can you print the tickets online. Anything else I need to know?

Most European train schedules are not firm until about 90 days out, Yes, you can print tickets online. Advance reservations are necessary for discounts but not critical for the train.

You can purchase tickets up to 62 1/2 days on Renfe prior to your trip. Substantial discounts are avialable by doing this and you avoid the lines at the booths in the station. And you do print the tickets on line. They will show the number of the train car and the seat as well. Check out the Renfe site, notify your bank before you make the purchase so they will not decline the card. There are several postings on line earlier re the process to use the site.
