Hi all,
Thank you for your help and responses as we dial in our itinerary through Spain. I wanted to share our finally itinerary now that things are booked, and I’ll share an update of how it went to help others if that is requested.
As we have young kids we are traveling with a slower pace and we oriented all our stops around good award flight deals we got so the timing feels wonky on paper but it works.
I’m not looking to cram in as much as possible, I am more interested in living like a local when we can and adventuring when we have energy.
Barcelona - 5 days
- request: any kid friendly foodie tours or private trivets to costa brava you might recommend? Would love a beach day/Blanes visit
Valencia - 6 days, partial work stop. Some asked why so long here, part of it is because it’s near friends who live here so a visit will be great and will give us a solid landing for some remote work to catch up.
Seville - 5 days, many said “don’t, it’s too hot!” I know, we will figure it out even if we just hang by the pool, we have a great hotel set up and will explore as we can. Also, we are coming from the hottest city on earth so I think we can deal. Any foodie tours we should check in on?
Madrid - 6 days, I don’t want to hear it, we were at the mercy of the miles flights 🤪 day trips to Toledo, etc any other suggestions? Tours that are kid friendly you can recommend?
After this we head to Ireland (again, miles flight haha) for a road trip. Will post that itinerary in the Ireland forum.
Thanks all, I get a lot of wisdom from the threads here.
