Greetings to everyone!

I plan to go to Spain next year, and I have never been to Europe. I am starting to plan. I am asking those veteran travelers if the proposed plan of mine is the way to plan a trip to Spain?
1. determine the cities to visit and days that one will stay there
2. get a map of each city
3. find bus, train, or metro scedule for each city
4. make hostel reservation for each city before one leaves
5. determine attraction that one will see in each city
6. if one is not eating in fancy restaurants, find a deli, grocery store, or a type of dennys in every city (seems tough to find before one leaves)
7. how does one find bus and metro scedule for each city in spain? (travel book?)
8. Did I leave anything out?
9. Spain message board rocks!
