Holidays in Spain 2019

For first timers to Spain I may suggest Barcelona or Andalucia. Do you like historical sites, beach, white wash villages, food, art, flamenco?

From my journeys in Spain, Andalucia has always been my favorite area in Spain to explore.

How many days are you planning to be in Spain?

What is it that attracts you to Spain? Do you have a guide book yet?

What time of year is your trip? Southern Spain is deathly hot in the summer. Madrid is also not exactly moderate in temperature.

Thanks for your answer!
We plan to be 7 days in Spain. We would like to visit interesting places, meet interesting people and relax on the beach. Do you think that Andaluzia will meet our expectations? What restaurants, accommodation do you recommend? What is worth visiting in Andalusia?

To Norma!
Sun, beach, vibrant cities, excellent cuisine, amazing monuments, unique culture, etc...
We do not have a guide book yet, do you know a nice guide book?

To Nick!
We plan to be in Spain in mid-September for 7 days. We would like to visit the historical buildings and rest on the beach. We will not be able to visit all the cities in such a short time :( - maybe another time. We would like to see everything calmly.

What do you think, which places to visit the best and relax at the same time? From this places you mentioned?

Re guide book. Go into a book store or library and see what is available. You will never get all the information and tips here that a decent guide will offer.

Hey Domi,

Here is a guide to Andalucia and Valencia

To Norma,
I will definitely go to the library and I see the guide.
Thank you for your response :)

RJean,

Thank You! :)

You can combine Barcelona with Valencia for 7 days or Just do Andalucia by itself starting in the city of Seville , Cordoba, and Granada for 7 days.

You're most welcome Domi. Feel free to ask me any other questions as far as lodging, restaurants and city sights.

I would suggest Madrid. It sounds like the OP is young and Madrid is the nightclub capital of Spain, plus it has the Prado and other dining attractions.

But no beach.

As much as Barcelona doesn't enthuse me I can see the attraction for a young couple on their first trip to Spain and it has the benefit of a beach albeit nothing special and combined with a couple of day trips could tick quite a few boxes.

Or......

The Costa Del Sol. Marbella with its young crowd, good beaches, excellent nightlife and some fantastic day trips.

Or.....

Throw caution to the wind and live a hedonistic week in Ibiza. Granted, it's lacking in historic gems but it'll be a week you'll never forget and not only is it the nightclub capital of Spain but also the world.

7 days is an incredibly short time and I don't know if this includes arrival and departure as well so spending nights in different cities is a waste of precious time. Choose one place and make the most of your brief time there.
