Hello, I would to reach Spain from Germany (or Zurich).
I see that it is really complicated and expensive (like going to Paris and then Barcelona, paying a lot for reservations).
Somebody have experience for a cheap route?
Thank you

Yes the fast routes are extremely expensive or sold out (very high demand). Do not go via Paris
Here are some options :
- Basel/Zurich - Geneva - Lyon
- either TGV to Montpellier, Narbonne, Perpignan 10-20€ or TER regional trains via Avignon (reservation-free)
- Perpignan - Portbou - Barcelona coastal route (reservation-free)
It is a very long travel day, you could make a stop along the way, for example in Avignon
Other route :
- Germany - Offenburg
- Offenburg - Strasbourg regional train
- Strasbourg - Montpellier/Narbonne/Perpignan 10-20€ TGV
- Perpignan - Portbou - Barcelona as above
Use bahn.de for planning (you can filter trains requiring seat reservations)

It is indeed a bit complicated, but possible.
