Hi there, very excited because at the ripe old age of ..... let's just say middle age.... we are finally getting to Spain. We will be flying from Dublin and then flight home to New Zealand is from Barcelona.
We are planning 15 / 16 days (including flight days) around late September We will probably just use public transport although we could look at driving in rural areas.
The possible plan is :
Fly in to Malaga or Seville or Granada? Seems Malaga is most direct , cheapest option to fly into Southern Spain.
Then we would like to spend time in (no particular order- that's what we would appreciate feedback on)
the three places above, possibly Ronda or similar small town, Cordoba. Approximately seven or eight nights in Southern Spain.
Then we would take the train to Madrid for perhaps 3 nights and across to Barcelona for the same,
Can you suggest a sensible order without too much backtracking and probably with public transport?
We did think 3 nights Seville, and two nights (one if we had to) in other places. We really prefer two nights over one.
We are pretty open to alternatives eg another little spot instead of Ronda.
It won't be a beachy holiday( although we do like the coast!) We like small towns, big cities, food, wine, walking around and seeing everyday life, art, churches...we won't be hitting the nightclubs at our advanced ages.
The only 'definite' at this stage is flying out of Barcelona on Oct 5th.
Hoping my rambling makes sense and thanks in advance.
