Hello! I will be finishing grad school in Summer 2024, and my husband and I are in the very beginning stages of planning a celebratory trip to Spain in September 2024. So far, I am thinking of the following:
Fly into Barcelona for at least 3 nights
Fly to Mallorca (Palma, or another neighborhood?) for 3 nights
Fly to Seville for 3 nights
Train to Madrid OR Fly to London for 2 nights (we would fly from Seville to London for cheaper flights back home to Florida)
I would like to fit in 2 more nights in another coastal town or Andalucia town somewhere in the itinerary - we really want to experience an "authentic" Spanish town and a relaxing atmosphere. We are in our early 30s, enjoy good local food and wine (wine tours would be a plus!), great views, and a bit of nightlife (ex. lively wine bars, not clubs). We are not so much interested in art/museums, but do enjoy strolling around historic areas. We like small to medium-sized towns/cities compared to big cities - for example, we much preferred Strasbourg France to Paris. We do not plan on renting a car, so we will depending on public transport (trains/buses), but would also consider hiring a private transfer if need be. Any suggestions on which town to add to our itinerary? Also, any hotel suggestions would be much appreciated :)
