Fall Spain trip itinerary planning
Our take
Hey, fellow adventurers! 🌟 I'm gearing up for an epic fall trip to Spain in October 2026 and could use your help! I'll be flying from Toronto to Barcelona for a 4-day conference, but I’m eager to explore Madrid and the stunning Andalusia region, including Córdoba, Seville, and Granada. I’m thinking of staying 1 night in Córdoba, 2 in Seville, and 2 in Granada, but I'm unsure about the best starting point and how to easily return to Madrid.
Hey travellers,
Despite being an avid traveller, I’m having a hard time planning my trip to Spain for the fall (Oct 2026)
I will be coming from Toronto to Barcelona, I have a conference in Barcelona for 4 days mid Oct, but I’m also interested in seeing Madrid and Andalusia (thinking of Córdoba, Seville and Granada) then flying out of Madrid. My plan is to do Barcelona, then Madrid, then Andalusia, then go back and leave from Madrid.
The issue here is I don’t know how to base myself in Andalusia to see 3 cities. I thought about doing 1 night in Cordoba, 2 in Seville and 2 in Granada but I don’t know which city to start with, and what is the easiest way to go back to Madrid from one of those cities.
I will also likely rely on trains to get between cities, but I’m open to private transfers if needed.
Thanks all

- Spain vs Spain + Portugal (15 days, mid-June) — itinerary feedback?Hi, I’ve been reading past threads, but I’m still unsure how to structure this trip and would really appreciate some feedback. Trip details: ~15 days total (mid-June, somewhat flexible) Flying from the US (likely into Barcelona, out of Lisbon) Budget: mid-range (mix of hotels + occasional nicer stays) Interests: food, walkable cities, history, some architecture, not big on rushing or checking boxes What I’ve researched so far: I came up with two rough options: Option A (Spain only): Barcelona (4 days) Madrid (3 days) Seville (3–4 days) Granada (2 days) Option B (Spain + Portugal): Barcelona (3–4 days) Seville (3 days) Lisbon (3 days) Porto (2–3 days) My questions: Does Option B feel too rushed given the travel time between Spain and Portugal? If sticking to Spain, would you prioritize Granada over somewhere like Valencia or more time in Madrid? Any adjustments you’d make to improve pacing? submitted by /u/Existential_boba9352 [link] [comments]
- Southern Spain Trip AdviceHello, I want to plan a trip to Spain between May 13 and May 26 or May 29 and June 10. I want to know what you guys think the best days to go would be and are most budget-friendly. I want to go for about 7 days and am thinking of these cities. Málaga → Granada → Sevilla With a possible day trip to Cordoba. Do you guys think this is a good idea, without it feeling rushed? Also, roughly how much would this cost (accommodation and food-wise), and what are the places that are a MUST to visit? Any help is greatly appreciated. Planning is hard :) submitted by /u/Informal_Carpenter16 [link] [comments]
- Should we spend more time in Granada or Malaga?Planning a trip to Spain. I need to be in Granada on a certain day. Was thinking 1 night in Madrid on arrival then 2 nights in Granada, 3 nights in Malaga (with a day trip to Ronda), 1 night in Cordoba before returning to Madrid for a couple more nights before departing back to US. Alternatively we could spend 3 nights in Granada and only 2 nights in Malaga, or skip Cordoba to do 3 nights in each. Thoughts? submitted by /u/A1000mokeys [link] [comments]
