Lots done and more to do!
I have been trying to book an alsa bus on their site with a foreign credit card. Has anybody got to to work?? Their are a few old 2012 trip advisor posts saying it doesn't work. It accepts the data and then just spins and spins with no message saying that the payment has been accepted??
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
You can also try the GoEuro website or app. We've had no issues booking Renfe tickets through GoEuro with our credit card, and I believe they link to bus companies as well.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!

Less than a week ago I used my US credit card to purchase tickets. Several weeks ago got train tickets as well.
 
I don't see where you are from Simeon, but if it's the U.S., one card that is widely refused is American Express.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

might have been a glitch in their site

I had no troubles by paying with my danish VISA. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and it worked perfectly fine... I don't know where the problem lies :/
