My wife and I are planning twelve days in Spain at the beginning of July. We know we'd like to spend 4 days in Madrid and 4 days in Barcelona. Does anyone have suggestions about how to structure the rest of the trip?

Thanks,

Peter

My piece of advice: 2 days on Madrid and 2 days on Barcelona (though you may stary 4 days on each if you are going to visit the places surrounding them).

There are lots of things to do and lots of places to visit Try the south of Spain (Córdoba, Granada, Sevilla), or perhaps the north (Galicia, Asturias, País Vasco).

Promethean writes: For a first timer, 4-days is about right for Madrid (day trips to Toledo and Segovia). Last July, I made a circuit Madrid-Santander (4-days)-Barcelona (2-days), overnight train to Sevilla. The (late July) weather on the north coast was quite cool and rainy. I took Continental-Auto Motorcoach Madrid-Santander (6-hours) and Alsa Motorcoach Santander-Barcelona. The latter was 9-hours (including a 1-hour meal/rest stop)
