2 pax... We didn't know they close 2 mins before so when we wanted to go to the platform, the security counter is closed and there's nobody there. We just went in and tried to board then the security ran in from nowhere and got us out of the platform lol...

Anw finally arrived in Madrid.. Can the bus readers accept credit cards? Or have to get physical bus cards to tap?

hi @spangaporean, visiting barcelona for 4 nights with my wife in June.. first time to barcelona, staying at NH Collection Barcelona Podium. wondering if the hola barcelona travel card is worth it? i'm under the impression many attractions are within walking distance. i compiled the following itinerary with the hola barcelona guide.. we may not visit everything, usually take our time.. any comments?

day 1: arrive in the evening around 6pm. only time for dinner and probably chill around the area?
day 2: Park Güell -> The Modernist Enclosure of Sant Pau -> Sagrada Família -> Casa Batlló and Casa Milà. End the day with a stroll along Passeig de Gracia
day 3: La Boqueria market -> followed by beach day? Barceloneta Beach is the most famous, but other great options include Nova Icaria and Bogatell Beach. -> Port Vell – Plaça Colom In the evening, head to the trendy El Born neighborhood for dinner and drinks.
day 4: Plaça Espanya -> Montjuïc (castle) -> Poble Espanyol (museum)

Hi Spang, I will be arriving in Munich at 6:40am. May I know the best route to Seville from Munich on the same day? May I also know if Vueling Airlines is strict on hand-carry luggage? I was looking at Vueling and considering their Basic Travel Light ticket class which stated "Underseat bag Max. 40x20x30 cm", while I will be having my Cabin luggage of 55x40x23
