RESERVATIONS - Can be made as from now. No deposits will be charged until after 6th January. After 6th January conditions are 50% to guarantee the reservations with the balance to be paid at least one month before arrival. In case of cancellations, once the deposit or final balance has been paid, these will be subject to cancellation fees but a refund will only be given if adequate proof is provided why the person cannot travel i.e. medical certificate, etc.  All reservations will be made on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS.

To be eligible for these discounts you must present the valid TESOL discount voucher to a RENFE travel agent or even at the station in question. Vouchers are available from Jenny . Please send a stamped addressed envelope with a note saying how many vouchers you require. This is cheaper and more flexible method than previous years as you can decide right up until the last moment which train you want to take (subject to availability of course) and cuts out the charge for sending by registered post. The validity of the vouchers is between 5th and 11th March 2008 inclusive. Address: Jenny Brown Travel, Calle Montera, 34, Despacho 1B, 4ª Planta, 28013 Madrid.
