My girlfriend and I are flying into Barcelona later this summer, and have a little over two weeks to spend traveling in the area. We can’t decide between spending time in Barcelona and then heading north to southern France, or just staying in the costa brava area and bouncing between small towns. We’ve also considered doing a road trip into Basque Country.
Looking for some tips/recs from folks who may have done one of these itineraries. For background, we are in our early 30s, and love balancing big cities with smaller towns while traveling (we had a blast last summer hitting a few big cities in Italy, followed by a more relaxed week in Sardinia).
