Staff somewhat aggressive, did not respect our seats And our group was separated. Air conditioning was off for a long time in very hot weather. Bathroom not working with no water, very bad smell and People took off shoes and had smelly feet. The bus made stops to drop off and pick up passengers when the trip said it was direct to Barcelona.
