For a ‘long haul’ trip, the seating was unsatisfactory. Very uncomfortable - seats did not recline sufficiently; driver did not communicate sufficiently

Bus was comfortable but huge delay due to major accident which was beyond their control. Some announcements in basic English would help tourists. The clock on the departure board in Granada was 45 minutes slow which may have led people to mis buses. The staff were indifferent to this fault.
