ALSA San Sebastian Granada recent customer reviews

I didn't get the seat I had bought as someone sat in it. The bus driver was also very unfriendly. The back seats didn't recline much which was a pain when the person in front declined their seat leaving me no room. There was lots of bus changes which I was not aware of when booking my ticket, and which was difficult for a non speaking Spanish person.
