Spain advice needed - General Tiki

My advice: A car in Madrid is more a hassle than a help, because of traffic and parking, cabs are cheap and plentiful. Nobody speaks English though! E-mail me... Between cities a rental car might be better, I heard about bad and long train connections...then again, I cannot imagine the Madrid-Barcelona route not being the most travelled! But compare prices, some budget airline tickets are as cheap as train fares in Europe these days! Madrid is great, but Barcelona is my fave, more atmospheric, and unrenovated, I would spend more time there. You also must visit the Bar Marsella, the oldest Absinth joint there.
