I arrive Granada in late April, depart Madrid 39 nites later (yes, I'm retired). Help me wander between 2 of my must-see destinations: Sevilla and Segovia. I use public transportation. Driving is NOT an option.
After a little research, I'm liking departing Seville, then 2 nights each in Mérida, Plasencia, Salamanca, Ávila, then arriving Segovia. On that route, I'm open to alternate towns and daytrip suggestions. I'm open to a route that goes through different provinces.
Why 2 nights? I love photography, so that gives me 4 opportunities around the best light of early and late in the day.
Why alternate towns? For me slow travel means staying a night in towns where I'll see few tourists because, as many put it, 'there is nothing to see there'. In such towns I'll be sampling the food, enjoying the non-city nature of the place, observing culture, and engaging with locals while speaking as little English as possible. I've been working for months to add to my decent travel Spanish in preparation for this trip. If buses are sufficiently frequent, I also like to stop in such towns for a few hours for doing those same things before moving on.
I'd like to know if you've been to such towns and recommend them. It would be wonderful if you had links to photos or words about your travels there.
I'm researching the major and minor Pueblas Blancas. I've been to Cadiz, Cordoba and Barcelona.
