Hello wise friends!
Last Dec/Jan was our first experience with the Eurrail pass and could not have been more pleased with it. Our route was Berlin | Hamburg | Amsterdam | Nuremburg | Vienna | Salzburg | Munich. Also did some day trips on the side. We reserved seats on some, but not all the trains. It all went like clockwork.
This year we are coming at the end of October and going to Porto | Lisbon | Southern Spain (Seville and other cities we haven’t exactly decided on yet) | Madrid | Barcelona.
I’m just wondering whether the Eurrail pass would give us the same value, or whether we are better off using the Portuguese and Spanish train systems. A few things I have read have indicated that that could be the case, especially as we are in off-season, so may not strike the problem of booked ou:)t trains. We are not great with planning ahead, so will not be booking individual trains in advance! And I don’t think we can go fully by train from Lisbon to Seville? Or nearby.
What would you all recommend? Thank-you :)

What's better depends on your definition of better. If you mean cheaper, then you'll have to check prices and compare.
You can go by train from Lisbon to Seville, but it will take a long time. IIRC there are direct buses.
