The return journey on the FlixBus 7008 from Valencia to Barcelona is also breathtaking, especially at dawn or dusk when you have a wonderful view of the coast. The Spanish bus driver was extremely friendly and dedicated and picked us up and dropped us off on time. In addition, you can't complain about the hygiene of the bus, it was well cleaned from top to bottom and the toilet also made a solid impression given the circumstances. Even though I didn't use it too much due to the view, the wifi was also in very good condition.
