Is my mid/southern Spain itinerary doable?
Our take
Planning a mid-southern Spain itinerary can be an exciting adventure! If you're considering day trips to Segovia and Toledo from Madrid, you'll find both cities rich in history and charm, making them doable within a single day. However, squeezing in a visit to the stunning mosque-cathedral in Granada might be a bit tight, depending on your travel style. If you’re not a big museum person, you can still enjoy highlights from Madrid's world-renowned museums without feeling overwhelmed.

| The numbers mean the day of the month of October, not day number of the trip.. I'm thinking day trips to Segovia and Toledo from Madrid then back same day. Is a day trip to the mosque cathedral and back from Granada feasible too? I know the Madrid says are busy but is it feasible if I just want to see museum highlights? I'm not a big museum person but I know these are some of the best museums in the world so I want to give them at least a gloss over. Any other recommendations? [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.

- Madrid after Sevilla — how should I split 3.5 days between the city, Segovia, and Toledo?After falling in love with Sevilla, I’m heading to Madrid for 3.5 days. I’ll be honest, I’m a little scared it won’t live up to the experience I just had, and I’m going in without a real itinerary. I’m trying to figure out the best way to distribute my time. Would it make more sense to dedicate all 3.5 days to Madrid itself, or should I spend around 1.5 days in the city and use the remaining 2 days for day trips to Segovia and Toledo? Any advice is appreciated! submitted by /u/jlopezmarti20 [link] [comments]
- 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]
- Spontaneous 3-day trip to Madrid. Are 3 days enough?Hey everyone, I just booked a very spontaneous 3-day trip to Madrid. I will arrive late on Saturday and leave on Wednesday in the morning, so I have 3 full days. Main reason: I got a ticket for Atlético Madrid vs Barcelona, so I decided to just go for it. I put together a rough plan and wanted to check if it makes sense or if I’m missing something important. Day 1 – Old Town & Highlights - Puerta del Sol - Plaza Mayor - Royal Palace - Almudena Cathedral - Gran Vía - Templo de Debod (for sunset) Day 2 – Culture & Park - Prado Museum (or Reina Sofía as an alternative) - Retiro Park (including Crystal Palace) Day 3 – Neighborhoods - Malasaña - La Latina - San Ginés (churros) + the game in the evening Main questions: Is this good for a spontaneous trip or am I missing something ?
