I am planning a full circular tour of Spain in September and am finding it very difficult to get any mention of local trains - i.e. those without the need for a reservation. Basically I am talking about travel between the main cities along the Mediterranean as a start.
Some of these journeys require two or even sometimes three trains each with a reservation! Is there a way around this, or was I too optimistic (or naive )? Is the answer perhaps to travel between smaller towns?
Edit: Perhaps I should ask how much reservations cost in Spain and how much in advance they need to be bought (from a station en route).
