WHERE in Espana?
Shortest route is from the border Ventimiglia/Nice along the coast to Cerbere/POrt BOu-from MOntpellier also via Hispeed TGV toward Barcelona.
You can choose between trying to book advance on oui.sncf- or use an Interrail-price depends on how many days and age. There are no real cheap times of year-but advance tickets tend to sellout faster in busy times, of course. On IR you have to pay quite heavy surcharges for the supplement and Seat Reservation too, but if time is no object can do it all in slower local trains and more changes-Marseille to Barca is quite do-able that way in 1 day. Just play around a bit with the local rail-travel-planners for segments.
I assume you are junior-well last summer to stimulate travel again SNCF=fr railways had a tremendous offer- 1 month for local trains for just 29 or 39 eur-but I do not expect that to repeat next summer.
