Husband and I are going on our first trip to Spain this fall (September 21-October 1). We'll arrive on a Thursday, probably about mid-day. We depart on Sunday (10 days later). So we'll have 8 full days. I'm not counting arrival and departure days or the day that we move from city 1 to city 2. My questions are:
- How should we split up the days? 4 in each city or more for one than the other? See below for what we're interested in seeing.
- Which city would you visit first? Airline schedules and fares appear to be similar.
While in Madrid we want to do a day trip to Toledo and while in Barcelona we want to visit Montserrat. Other than that, our interests are mainly museums and historical and cultural sites. We're not interested in night life and we enjoy a fairly fast paced trip.
Any insight you can provide will be much appreciated!
