Hello,
I am traveling to Spain in June with my sister, and we want to visit Toledo and other cities. Could you tell me how we can buy tickets with student prices and if we can use them for other cities. We will be in Spain for only a week.
Thank you very much for the info.

Information to my email
Comment that if the traveler uses the direct train (AVE), which takes 30 minutes, especially on weekdays, and work hours, such as between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., buy the ticket in advance, since many Toledans go every day to work in Madrid, and the trains are usually full at that time, just like when they return to Toledo around 18 p.m. onwards, in the same way it can be more economical to travel by bus, since they leave from Toledo and Madrid runs almost every half hour, and they make the journey in 50 minutes, and they usually always have free seats at any time, and you can buy the ticket ten minutes in advance, in Toledo or in Plaza Eliptica in Madrid (Intercanbiador).
El Alcazar is not open on Wednesdays.
To buy the train ticket in cash it takes an hour
