Looking for Advice

Hello again, I still can't figure out my trip in July...by train only/ maybe bus, but not car option.

My idea is been changing because the places more south I wanted to visit are hard to from there go to one of my non negotiable Valencia...

So my question is: will be too many days in one place if I only do 3 places from June 30 to July 13?? from the 30´ th to the 4 I going to be in Madrid. The rest of the time it will be to spend it in Valencia and Barcelona ...

So it's that a bad idea and I'm missing something ?? What good place can I add to this itinerary to fill up my trip where I can spend 2 or 3 days?? I did think about Sevilla, but to go to Valencia its very complicated to me...(going back to madrid,I do not want to do that)

Maybe do day trips from those places?? like I was thinking from Barcelona day trip to Lloret del Mar...

Also appreciate places ideas for this day trips.... thank you...maybe a cool village, or a cascade, or fun adventure place, or a cala?...something fun...culture,museums and history I will do it on those 3 places/cities ... cool unique experiences I think is that its what I'm looking for.... to have a contrast to this more conventional places

I know is a lot !!! sorry !!! this is how Im!! A LOT !!! SORRY !!!!

Thank you!!!

Since you’ll mostly be on the east coast, just stay there and not try to go to Sevilla. Two cities that come to mind to fill a couple days are Zaragoza and Alicante. Either should be able to be reached from Madrid or Valencia via train or bus.

Zaragoza is a very interesting city right on the Madrid-Barcelon train line, but I see two issues: It doesn't sound as if you'll be traveling directly between Madrid and Barcelona, and Zaragoza is perishingly hot in the summer.

Cuenca is on the fast rail line between Madrid and Valencia, though that train station is a bit out of town and you might need to budget for a taxi if the bus schedule isn't kind to you. Cuenca has a hilltop historic center and houses hanging over a ravine. It's quite different from the other places you're going.

I don't know Lloret del Mar at all, but given the probable weather in July, being on the coast is probably a good plan.

From Madrid, you could go to Segovia for two nights, and then from Segovia, head to Valencia. The Segovia–Valencia train takes about four hours, which is a tolerable amount of time. Alternatively, you could visit Zaragoza after Valencia. Personally, I would choose Segovia over Zaragoza, but Zaragoza is nice too.
