Purchasing tickets online with Eurolines

[Anniesantiago]

Has anyone got a secret for purchasing tickets online from Eurolines?
I'm trying to book a bus from Barcelona to Toulouse.
I have put my info in using 3 different credit cards and it says each time "No, there is a problem with your card."

help?

Do not know about Eurolines but Alsa bus company (Spain) could not cope with our debit or credit cards on line from U.K. Paypal however worked fine and we booked Irun to Ponferrada to walk Camino de Invierno Sept. 2011.

Hi, Annie,
I have never heard of this company, but if it's located in Europe it might be that it would help to make a call to your CC company telling them you want this charge to go through. I know that many people have failed at buying RENFE tickets because their credit cards were rejected. Some times, but not all the time, this was corrected by calling the CC company. Might be worth a try. Good luck. Buen camino, Laurie

Turns out it wasn't on my end, but on theirs.

I finally got a human to answer my email and book the VERY inexpensive earlybird tickets from Barcelona to Toulouse at a GREAT rate of 44 Euros for TWO! Kowabunga, I was happy!

So... looks like we're going to land in Barcelona, spend 2 days recouping, then on to Toulouse. We will tourist about for a day or two, then take a train to Lourdes. From there, we will walk to Pamplona to meet our first Pilgrim Group.

I'm so excited! It will be great to be on The Way again!

After the 3 week trek with Pilgrim Group 1, we fly to Amsterdam to walk the first "deal" of the Pelgrimspad. Then on to Wales to walk Offa's Dyke. We've rented a flat there for 2 months and will return to Spain in September to meet Pilgrim Group 2. If anyone has any good ideas about what to do while in Wales, hollar -- I'm bound to be bored after about 3 days.

Ok.. see you on the trail Pilgrims!

In Wales check out the Citercian Way

Takes about 30-35 days to complete the circular route - you can start anywhere too
