So Alsa has finally determined that you are a non-person? Does this mean you no longer have to pay tax?. LOL! Suggest you follow Tinca’s advice, I find many Spanish booking sites are unable to accept outsiders. Good luck!I have been trying to book a bus ticket from Santiago to Valenca.
However the Alsa site keeps insisting that my passport number is invalid.
They want digits and then one letter. mine has two letters followed by 8 digits.
Can anyone help me please?
Is that why I cannot book a bed at Roncevalles with a US card. I tried several times over three days with no luck. When I contacted them by email they just directed me back to the booking page. I gave up!So Alsa has finally determined that you are a non-person? Does this mean you no longer have to pay tax?. LOL!

Hola @MinaKamina that NIF post reminds about all the rigmarole you have to go through to open a bank account in Spain. You need a similar number in Galicia, it’s even difficult to rent a house or unit without one, even for EU citizens. Still like the way you circumvented the Portuguese!

Lydia, ALSA and RENFE now have an office together with the Correos in the same building as the pilgrim office in Santiago. The counter is notmanned over lunch time but otherwise offers great service.I have been trying to book a bus ticket from Santiago to Valenca.
