we have one car and 8 days to spend between madrid and barcelona. where would you spend the nights?<BR>thanks in advance to the advisors...

if you have 7 nights, i would spend the first one in toledo - true, it's south of madrid but worrth the visit (and you'll have 7 days to catch up)

Josh,<BR><BR>I suggest spending a couple nights in the beautiful town of Siguenza and staying in the incredible parador which is a converted 12th century castle. There are several memorable daytrips to be enjoyed in the environs of Siguenza.<BR><BR>Maria

josh, spain is great, i wouldn't pass on san sebastian - a beautifull place. have fun

isn't it to far in car? we took a night train between the two cities, and visited the surroundings of them without renting a car

I agree with Ruth. We flew into Barcelona (our favorite city in Spain)and took the night train (hotel train) to Madrid; otherwise, you waste a day in travel, and I hear it's not that scenic. Rent the car in Madrid; don't miss nearby Toledo and Segovia! We overnighted only in Madrid, as we had no car, but the buses worked great for day trips.

first of all thanks. anyone knows anything about la rioja region?
