Spain in a Week: Madrid, Barcelona & Andalusian Sun
See Spain’s big highlights with smart travel plans and time to unwind
Spain is an excellent fit for a 7-10 day break, because big cities, Moorish history and relaxed beach time can sit comfortably within one well-planned week. Many trips link Madrid and Barcelona with a handful of standout stops, while others concentrate on Andalucía, the Costa del Sol or the Basque Country for a richer mix of food culture, heritage and coastal scenery. Itineraries can be shaped around different travel styles, from classic guided touring to city stays that use one base with easy day trips. Some routes also weave in nearby countries such as France, Portugal, Morocco or the UK, although Spain remains the main focus throughout.

Our driver, Juan, was very good. The tour guides were also very good. I felt that there was often not enough time for us to explore on our own. In Caceres, there was no info and a race was going on in the town center. disappointing! In Granada, the hotel was not close to any things and was right on a busy street.

We loved the tour agenda and enjoyed Madrid and Barcelona. The days in Madrid and Barcelona could have been longer. Transportation was great and comfortable although not all buses has charging outlets. The agenda should be communicated at least a month before as to book excursion that I are not offered by the tour. Some of the tour guides were better than others. Communication is not as strong when you arrived and plan for the day.
