From what I understood for trains, Talgos are accessible, *however*
you must register as needing accessibility help for a wheelchair *when
booking*.
This is motivated by the fact that they use special elevating
devices to embark and disembark the wheelchair from/to the platforms
in the station.
Please also don't forget checking about Cáceres station
accessiblity. I would be a shame to reach the station and have
problems because the train platform in the station is only accessible
with stairs (even electric ones).
Just to be complete and because I'm not sure it was clearly mentioned
earlier (and I'm not sure this is clear for the local team....sorry if
that's the case): Otavio's wheelchair is an auto-powered electric wheelchair
*which is very heavy* and quite bigger than "arm-powered"
wheelchairs. That may count when talking about accessibility because
most "accessible" places are often dimensioned for "standard"
wheelchairs (those you can fold, for instance).
