In Spain you can totally get the bus to most places, especially touristy places! AVE is expensive but there are budget high speed operators operating now and the bus is cheap. All these options are far cheaper than owning a car (and cheaper than owning a car in a car centric country as well!).
Also those towns that don't have good connections it's mostly poor people living there, so rather than being stuck in cities because they don't own cars, they're stuck in poor rural towns because there is no transit to other places!
Not really. Miravet is a famous tourist castle place. You can't get there via public transport from Barcelona or even from Tarragona.
Same for Besalú.
Honestly, Germany is the only place I have been where I felt I could get everywhere by train.
