Hi guys,

I'll go spain in august.I've a interrail ticket and I'm planning to go barcelona from malaga at 16august morning but when I try to make a reservation from [ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/reservation[/ux] it don't show 2nd class seats for that day.

How can I make res. for that train 2nd class seats?

Is that possible to make my res. via phone ( I just know english) or in international train stations like wien, munich, amsterdam etc.

Generally in the peak seasons what is the percentage of full of 2nd class seats for malaga-barcelona train before 48hours of arrival? I mean that if I wanna buy it at madrid train station at 12 august evening or 13 august morning can I find a place?

This issue is very important for me because I've to catch my flight at barcelona

I can see reservations for that date on rail.shop/acprail/reservation

Reservations are normally also available at stations in other countries.

Noone can answer your Q-you yourself think too much.
BUT this train-as its the only 1 through IS often very, very busy or sold out days before in the peak of summer. You can go nearly ever hour with a change in Madrid-but then it cost you double the 10 eur extra for IR-users, as you use 2 trains. OR see if there are more seats as far as Cordoba or maybe Sevilla and use local trains from there onward. Some intelligent thinking was always the norm for IR-users. And Spain is a notorious bottleneck in summer for IR.
