Hi Everyone,
My girlfriend and I are planning a 10 year anniversary trip to Spain Oct 21-31. We are flying direct into Madrid the morning of 21st and debating on staying the night on traveling by train down south to Seville/Granada. There are two events I am currently trying to plan around, the first is finding a city with amazing views to plan my proposal. I decided on Granada because of the huge castles. Second, I really would love to catch the El Classico match on October 27th but this would force us to cut our time in the south short and travel back to Madrid leaving us with an awkward 3 day gap before we leave. We are planning on using the train passes as much as possible but also want to reduce how often we need to travel with our luggage which is why choosing Granada or Seville as our main hub would allow for day trips around before coming back to Madrid and repeating day trips to Toledo.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in advice for which cities to extend the stay, hidden gem locations for private moments, and tips of securing Madrid tickets :)
