I am trying to purchase a ticket for the ALSA bus from Pamplona to SJPDP. It requires a document, which I believe is my passport number. I click other(as the two other choices are Spain) and then under “issuing country”, every country imaginable is there except the United States. I have sent an email to them. I feel like I’m not purchasing from the right site, maybe? What can I do?🤷🏼‍♀️
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Maybe you need to add the name of your country in spanish? Estados Unidos (EEUU)
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

If you download the app. You can switch to English. It is super easy to purchase tickets. If you have an IPhone the ticket can be added to your wallet. I would assume that Android phones have a similar feature.

I just bought the same ticket last week. The United States is listed there, just far down after a lot of scrolling.
