I am sure you can find lots of free parking close to metro and train
stations unless they are somewhat out of town.

If you know you're going to need a car, maybe it's better to get a
hotel with its own parking garage, which will cost money but may well be
cheaper than regular paid parking, and in any case safer. Otherwise, if
you mean street parking, you can always try. Several million Spaniards
will be trying as well. It's just a question how much time you have for
cruising round looking for a spot and how many miles you're prepared to
walk once you found it. Plus there's a high risk of the car being broken
into if you leave it standing around with conspicuous rentacar stickers.
My memory of street parking in Madrid was that finding a spot was
really difficult. In Valencia we found a parking space near our hotel
but when we wanted to leave, we were double parked. It turned out the
other driver had left the parking brake off so all we had to do was just
push his car down the road a bit. It seemed to be normal practice to
double park and not set the brake.
You might have a look at some of your destinations with Google
streetview to get an idea of the parking situation. Remember, if you see
a street with no cars parked on it - there must be a reason, like
there's a bus lane or it's taxis only or simply parking prohibited. I
guess you know what the no parking, no stopping and metered parking
street signs look like?
