Trip to Spain from 26th Apr to 10th may

Posted by on

Hi,

We are going to be in Spain for 15 days. We have 2 girls ( 17 and 14 years) , they are interested to do diving in Costa brava. They are not very keen for museums except may be 1 or 2 at the most. All of us are interested in architecture so old towns, buildings and cathedrals are definitely in. We enjoy walk tours as well as cycle tours. Btw I am an art buff.....would love to hear which is the best art museum there. I know it's quite late to change my plans now but I would definitely like to hear from you before finalising. The places we want to visit are as below:
Barcelona, Toledo, cordoba, valencia , seville,
Madrid, any one of the islands
Pl let me know if I can add granada, major a or Malaga as well.
Which is the best mode of transportation in Spain?
Thank you. Have a nice day

Barcelona, Toledo, Cordoba, Valencia, Seville, Madrid, Granada, Mallorca, Malaga - in 14 nights?
No way, it's just not possible. Choose four, or at a pinch, five destinations.

For someone with general interests, visiting key sites ...

4 nights in Barcelona
4 nights in Madrid - with a day to Toledo
4 nights in Seville - with a day to Cordoba
2 nights in either Valencia or Granada

Take heed to David's advice... You have way too many destinations for your 14 days.

Where are you flying into & out of? Madrid? Barcelona?

Before you decide to go to Granada, make sure you check to see if there are any Alhambra tickets available for the dates you'd plan to be there. As of tonight, the first week of May is already completely sold out, except for May 7th and 8th.

Edit to add...

Which is the best mode of transportation in Spain?

You can get to most of your destinations via train.
You can check train schedules at Renfe.com
