4. Print out the confirmation page and the confirmation email. Bring both documents with you when you pick up your tickets at the station.

Tips & Warnings

• Get to the Barcelona train station quickly and easily via the Metro Blue Line (L5) or the Green Line (L3).

• Carry your passport and photo ID with you at all times as it is illegal to walk the streets of Grenada (and any other location in Spain) without proper identification. Citizens carry a special identification card for this purpose.
