Hi all! On Thursday evening I leave for a 16 day trip to Spain. I am traveling with a friend (we are 23 year olds from the US). We have purchased train tickets from city to city, and some sight tickets (noted with *) in advance, but all else is up in the air and subject to change with how we feel or the weather. Below is our itinerary---please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions! If you have a specific recommendation of where to watch a flamenco performance, please suggest away! Thank you!
