Train travel · Spain

I'd like to go to Montserrat on my own from Barcelona. Share your suggestions with me. Which train should I take, where to get off, what to see once I arrive, etc.

Hi, I’m planning an 11-day trip in Castile, visiting Madrid, Toledo, Segovia, Ávila, and Salamanca, with train travel. But for Toledo-Segovia and then Segovia-Salamanca (or Ávila), there’s no direct train—the shortest route means going back through Madrid. So, I was wondering if the Toledo-Madrid train arrives at the same station as the Madrid-Segovia train, and the same question for Segovia-Madrid and then Madrid-Salamanca (or Ávila). Thanks in advance for any info—I haven’t been able to find this anywhere.
