NEED HELP PLANNING SPAIN ITINERARY
 

Hello,

I am planning a trip to Spain next year with four girls. We want to visit Andalucia, Madrid, Barcelona and fly to Ibiza. (If we can) We are not sure the month of travel yet, but we would love some feedback on the best cities and things to do in some of the cities I stated above. Even if we do not make it to all of them, we just want to have fun! Please help me out with some cool stuff to do. Please add any information that you wish.

Thanks,
FAB Travels

How many weeks do you have for the trip?

And by girls do you mean teenagers? Or are you just using girls instead of women?

And time of year will make a huge difference - since in the summer Andalusia is hellishly hot (very often 100 degrees and can go to 120) while that of the Atlantic coast is much more moderate (and where many locals vacation).

Sounds good as long as it's not July and August.

WHAT DO YOU AND THE GIRLS LIKE TO DO?

What means "have fun" to you?

Explain.

Then you'll get better answers to your initial vague questions.

As for Madrid and Barcelona - Fodors and others have good sample itineraries. Modifications for time-of-year may be necessary, but you'd have to reveal when you're traveling . . .

You've been asked some key questions. I'll add another: Have you consulted guidebooks to figure out what you want to do in these places? You might want to plan a day at a library, when each of you looks at a different guidebook to come up with some ideas for family consideration.

Spain is a wonderful destination -- enjoy planning!

Thanks for the feedback. We will keep in mind that July and August will be too hot.

It will be four women. We love to eat, shop, engage in culture, and party at night (dance and sip cocktails). We would like to engage in some tourist attractions as well as hang out where the locals would normally interact.

We will be have about 10 days to explore. We would love to know the most frequented museums and we would like to relax on a beautiful beach as well.

We enjoy all types of food, please advise any restaurants that we may need to visit.

Partying at night in Madrid and Barcelona, as well as in many other places in Spain, means you will be out until sun up, as many cocktail bars and dance clubs don't open before 11:00 pm. If you end up on Ibiza in July or August, it's a different story.

Thanks Robert2533. We are planning to spend the last days in Ibiza, we have also pinpointed a time frame from Sept. 1-10, 2015.
