I'm with kja. Two full days in Toledo and another night in Madrid.

If going to Andalucia around those dates....don't miss the Cordoba Patio Festival, its definitely worth seeing. These people did a great video from this year's patio festival http://www.spain-holiday.com/Cordoba...-de-los-patios

Oh, please do a daytrip to Segovia from Madrid! (or even stay overnight)

One of the highlights of my trip to Madrid.

If you like to hike, then there is a fabulous walk you can do outside the castle walls -- there is a path that goes along the walls, and there is also a trail on the other side of a gorge along a hilltip that parallels the town and it is wonderful. i have to confess that I ended up on the hilltop trail by accident and had to bushwack my way back but with better advance planning (and decision-making= I should have retraced my steps rather than forge on...) you should be able to find your back better than I did!

I don't know when sunflowers bloom, but you have the potential to do a hike with a field of sunflowers on one side, the magical castle, cathedral and old city of Segovia on the other and ahead of you hills in the distance....When I did this hike, the sunflowers were all dead, but even with blackened heads, the vista was stunning!

Such helpful comments here. I'm bookmarking for a trip to Madrid and southern Spain next March/April. Deborah

A stop in Grenada is a must do. Especially to see the Alhambra
