Is the Eurail France-Spain Youth Pass Good Value?
The cheapest version of the Eurail France-Spain Pass will cost you about $83 per day of travel, while the 10-Day Pass will set you back $66 per day.A long journey in Spain (for example from Granada to Barcelona or Valencia to Santiago de Compostela) will cost about 50€-90€ ($105-$118). As an example of prices in other countries, a ticket from Nice to Paris in France costs 133€ ($175).
You need to reserve your seat on Spanish trains, which adds to your travel costs. Reservations in other countries aren't always necessary but they are often advisable.
If you are going to be starting in Paris, the trip to the south of France alone will would normally cost half the price of a Four-Day Pass. But you will have to think carefully about how many journeys you are going to make - the 10 journey ticket is excellent value but compels you to make five journeys in each country.
If you are going to be in northern France, you may be tempted to go to Belgium, Holland or Germany - with this pass you can't. In that case, you may want to consider the Eurailpass Youth Flex or the Eurail Selectpass Youth.
