13 Days in Spain-Help!

Hello. My husband and I (late 20's) will be in Spain from August 5-18, flying in and out of Barcelona. The only thing we have planned is San Sebastian for Semana Grande on August 13-17 (spending the 17th in Barcelona before we leave early on the 18th). The rest of our time there is open and we're stuck on figuring out where to go and what to do. We know we will spend some time in Barcelona but don't know how to fill the rest of our time.

We're totally open to do anything and go anywhere. Appreciate any suggestions or proposed itineraries you have!

Thank you!!

Rent a car and drive the Costa Brava.. or take the train to Girona , and then bus to Tossa De Mar( if you like quieter and more pictureques seaside village , or Lloret de Mar for beach party city .

Fly to Mallorca ( its like a 20 minute flight and cheap as dirt if you book early, ) and drive the island , stay in Cala D'or or any of 3-4 other beach side towns.. definitely spend at least 2 nights in Palma( the city you will fly into on Mallorca)..

Do you want to stay in northern Spain? It sounds like you have about 5 days to spend outside of Barcelona and San Sebastian.

Do you like the ocean, or do you drink wine?

I have not been to Bilbao, but it is supposed to be a great place. I mention wine as there is the world-famous Rioja area.
