Hello!

I am planing to go to Spain this Summer and hope anyone will give me the idea about:
How far is Segovia town from Madrid? (I've found it on the map already but it's unclear what scale and spaces are shown there)
If you know this city, then what is the best way to reach it?
What kind of transport is the best way to go across the country - train? buses? car?
Could you compare the local prices (for food, hotels, transport and museums) with rest of Europe?
Are the big cities overfilled by tourists in Summer, or one can bare?
What's the attitude of the Spanish people towards Russia and Russians?
Do the locals (not only in the big cities) speak English?

Thank you!
