Renfe.es, Spain's official rail website, is a mess and has been described as "like Alice in Wonderland, where nothing seems to be what it really is" by Trip Advisor.

Buses from Barcelona to Pamplona cost about 25 euros. These tickets can only be bought from Vibasa.es, a Spanish-only website. Even for Spanish speakers, this site is confusing. I'd advise to buy in person at the bus station or to take the train.
