Hi everyone. I am in the initial planning stages of our first trip to Spain and for my wife her first time to Europe. This is my first crack at a rough itinerary and would love some feedback. We are in our late 30’s, love good food and wine, architecture, art and history. We will have 22 days. We will be there from Feb 19 - March 11, give or take a day or two.
Fly from Vancouver to Seville (4 nights)
Train to Cordoba (2 nights)
Train Cordoba to Granada (3 nights)
Train Granada to Valencia (2 nights)
Train Valencia to Madrid (4 nights)
Bus Madrid to Toledo (2 nights)
Bus to Madrid, Train to Barcelona (5 nights)
Fly Barcelona to Vancouver
QUESTIONS
Does this route make the most sense?
Does this plan seem too rushed? Anything I should lose or change?
I know that Carnival is happening while we’re there. Any advice with regards to that?
Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!
