If you have 10 days in July to spend in Spain coast how you will do it?? from the Costa de Alicante and up. What itinerary you would do?? If you did it and want to share please do...
(my trip starts in madrid and ends in barcelona ... 13 days total)
So its few days in Madrid, few days in Barcelona and in the middle I will like to add some nice place on the coast sice, some cool place. we are in our 50´traveling with 25 years old daughter
Thank you!
You want cool on the Spanish Med coast in Summer? To me, Spain + coast + summer + cool means the northern Atlantic coast, not the Med.
thank you...no that part of Spain has not interest to me, but thank you
I assume (and hope) you mean cool, as in trendy, rather than not hot.
You can get the high speed train from Madrid to Malaga, and Malaga to Barcelona.
Malaga is a coastal city with much of interest, incl an old centre. It also has beaches, and good beach restaurants.
There is a university, so lots of young people.
Maybe Costa Brava? https://www.costabravacruiseports.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Cales-i-ports-Costa-Brava_gb.pdf
It's located around 100 miles north of Barcelona.
But again, regardless of your destination, everything in the coastal areas is packed during the summer months. So you know.
To me Costa Brava is superior to Costa del Sol.
thank you ...
geovagriffith you have been there? what do you recomend ?
yes I thought about doing Malaga, I wan to make sure all that hours in train are worth it... or maybe i'm missing something better that is closer ....
Valencia is great. Easy fast train from Madrid. I think it takes less than 3 hours.
It will be very hot everywhere but I’m sure you know that.
yess yess I know is hot... that is why I want a place where we can spend few hours each day exploring different beaches or Calas close by...
Costa Brava was close to Barcelona and that was a positive, but I just wasn't thrilled with Costa del Sol. To me the beach wasn't that great and the best area, near Malaga was so expensive.
Cambrils, Peniscola, Salou?

Denia, Javea, Calp, Altea?
Combining Barcelona with Costa Brava and Girona would be excellent.
We also love Malaga, which you could combine with Madrid.
Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava.
Great castle-crowned town with beaches of turquoise water.
Girona is less than one hour away by car.
Cheers!
Wow. No interest in the north coast of Spain.
The north of Spain is wonderful. Love the Basque area, Bilbao and San Sebastian. Also, love Santiago de Compostela just north of Portugal.
