RENFE
ALVIA 632 Estandar
3 hours 50 min – DIRECT

ORIGIN : Pamplona Iruna

DESTINATION: VALLADOLID

Ive started to turn up 1 hour before my train that gives me an extra 30mins to find where im leaving from and any other delays that might come up I have some time to spare

Ok, good start, compared to my Zaragoza experience, there was only 1 train with my train number and time 👍🏼
I was one of the first to arrive so the station was empty and no other trains leaving before my one
Love the google translate app! 20mins before departure they set up the check in zone to scan tickets

So I had plenty of time!

I ordered a coffee at the cafe and successfully in spanish! I was really proud of myself! 🥰 “una tazza de cafe por favor con leche de soja”
Heres mi tazza de cafe con leche de soja

I had wrapped my own sandwich and a mandarin for lunch so had that at the cafe

After check in I made SURE I double checked where my coach was going to be – “coche quince” I didnt want to do any additional running as I didnt have an “Arlo” with me today 🤣
The train was delayed a few mins
People start searching for coach numbers, which again werent easy on this train! Could barely make out the numbers!
Somewhere there in that black rectangle it says “coche 15” – coche quince
I was in seat 1a which was one of those 4 seats and no tables which was annoying as this was over off my longest train rides of 3hrs 50mins so i had to hold everything on my lap
A really comfortable train ride – overcast but still really pretty with snow capped mountains!
