Public transportation is widely available in Spain

If you are visiting Spain for the first time, you will be relieved to learn that public transportation is widely available, timely, and simple to use. Buses, trains, planes, and rideshare companies are among the public transportation options. Spain's buses and trains are new, clean, and punctual, but if you are traveling a long distance, you should also consider flying. Flights between major cities like Barcelona and San Sebastian are frequently found to be even cheaper than ground transportation.

Keep in mind that when purchasing a public transportation ticket in Spain, your seat number is frequently printed on the ticket. In Europe, people don't just sit wherever they want on buses, so make sure you take your assigned seat. While public transportation in and between cities is adequate, you will need to rent a car to visit smaller towns or explore the countryside. It is recommended that you rent a smaller car because the streets and parking spaces in Spanish cities and towns can be quite narrow!
