    Very good in general but in each city they are adding passengers to occupy the seats of the coach that are already occupied. There is a lack of logistics in this operation, in Zaragoza we had to wait more than an hour for the other group coming from Madrid to get everyone together.

    Is it possible to hook some of your trips together? I would like to spend 3 weeks in Portugal and 5 weeks in Spain in September and October. I could not rent a car and cannot take luggage across train tracks. I am interested in staying as a single in superior hotels where I do not have to climb stairs. History, museums, churches, operas and significant geographic points are my interests. I do not mind being on my own.
