Hello everyone
We will be traveling to Spain in March till the first week in April. We are arriving in Madrid and will spend the first 6 days there. Then we are taking the train to Valencia and will be there for 8 days. So far, so good.
After Valencia we have a total of 17 days before we leave from Madrid.
What I would like is any suggestions on where to make our base and what towns we should add as day trips, time permitting.
We want to visit some of the towns around Alicante like Altea, Benidorm and Villajoyosa. I think that there is a tram from Alicante to these places. Our initial thought is to have Alicante as a base, but are looking for other possible options in the area. We are thinking 5-6 nights. we would prefer to not jump around (1 or 2 night in one place) if possible. However, if there is a place that is worth a night or 2, we will seriously consider that as well.
After that area we would like to visit Malaga and the surrounding towns of Nerja and Marbella. I am also looking for other suggestions of areas to explore. We can spend 5 nights in that area as well.
Our last days (maybe 5-6 nights) we are thinking of 2 nights in Toledo and the rest back in Madrid with a day trip to Salamanca or Segovia, etc. It depends on how much we do our first 6 days.
Thank you in advance. I look forward to any input
