Hi all - excited that our son is studying abroad in San Sebastian in Fall so we (parents & older son) are planning to meet him at the end and travel from SS to Madrid (3 weeks total). I would love to get some feedback! We are fairly slow travelers anyway but we'll be traveling during Christmas & New Years, which may slow things further. In between San Sebastian and Madrid, I'm thinking Pamplona, Segovia, Toledo and, lastly, Madrid. I know Toledo is a little out of the way (south) but I thought it might be nice to spend a night there and that would be easier before Madrid as opposed to a day trip from Madrid.
Does spending Dec 24-27 makes sense in Segovia (big enough that we'll find a few businesses open for food, etc?)?
Thoughts on renting a car vs taking the train? Thanks! Andi
