Ok, so we're heading to Spain for 17 days in January. I'd love for you all to poke holes, suggest some gems, agree, disagree and most of all pass along your best advice. Our priorities, like most RS travellers are History, Art, Food. We prefer to savour our time in most places although with just under 3 weeks (17 nights in Spain, 2 travel days)we will have to hurry (a little bit). Anyways... looking forward to your comments.
January 8 -Arrive in Barcelona from Canada
January 9 - Barcelona
January 10- Barcelona
January 11 - Barcelona
January 12 - Barcelona
We want to head to Montserrat as a day trip...
January 13 - Madrid
January 14 - Madrid
*We'd love to see Toledo but don't know if we'd be forcing it to pop over for a day? Maybe allocating a third night in Madrid and less in Barcelona or spending one night in Toledo? Gah, so much to see.
January 15 - Sevilla
January 16 - Sevilla
January 17- Sevilla
January 18 - Sevilla
January 19 - Cordoba
January 20 - Cordoba
Note: Before heading back to Barcelona we'd like to allocate a few nights to see more in the area. We've talked ad nauseum about Granada and would love to go but it seems far out of the way of every place on our trip without great transportation options? Suggestions here would be great. Would trying to do the 21-23 in Granada be too rushed? Or is it worth it? I'm not asking if Granada is worth it as a city as we all know it's amazing but more asking about if it's too rushed and will end up creating an experience that is a net negative.
Other city options... Cadiz?
January 24 - Barcelona (fly out next morning)
Anyway, we haven't booked any hotels etc yet so nothing is in stone so we'd love your suggestions. Thank you!!
