Thinking of getting away for 2 weeks to include mainly staying in Barcelona, perhaps breaking it up mid-trip with a few nights in Madrid via train. We would like to do day-trips from Barcelona, like Tarragona, Monserrat, Girona. Looking for suggestions for day-trips and why. We have a very hectic 50-day trip in the fall training through Europe, so looking for a little bit more relaxed trip in the Spring.
