I'm heading to Paris this fall for a ten-week French program. During the program we'll have a week where we can go and explore. I'm thinking of taking a brief tour of the peninsula with the goal of seeing Andorra, Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon. I've more or less brainstormed and pre-organized the trip and have made the following itinerary:
Day 1: PM: Paris~>L'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre (Train) ~>Andorra La Vella (Bus)
Day 2: Andorra
Day 3: Andorra~>Barcelona (Bus)
Day 4: Barcelona
Day 5: Barcelona~>Madrid (Train)
Day 6: Madrid
Day 7: Madrid
Day 8: Madrid~>Lisbon (Train)
Day 9 Lisbon
Day 10: PM: Lisbon~>Paris (Flight)
Has anyone ever tried a similar schedule/route? I'm taking into account night trains for Days 1 and 8. I know that such a trip won't allow me to explore all that the cities have to offer, but given a lofty goal and only a week to do it all, it's all I can come up with. I'm more Madrid-focused because I want to visit the surrounding cities of Salamanca and Avila (more so the latter).
Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions!
PS: I took a look at Tiffany's similar post but decided to ask anyway since we were in slightly different situations. (She was interested in other sites besides Madrid/Barcelona, plus I added Andorra.)
