Welcome to Fodors.
Were you supposed to attach a proposed itinerary or do you expect people here to suggest one?
If the latter you need to do some homework of your own first.
Either way we need more information - who? How Many? When? Must sees? Preferred part of Spain?

Also, have your flights been booked? If so, into which airport? Is it a round-trip flight or multi-city (as in going into one city and flight home from another)?
Is your time stated your time on the ground or does it include flights to/from home or elsewhere?

Welcome, vinetal! With 7-9 days, you need to get thee to a guide book or read some of the trip reports here and decide what interests you. For me, Madrid with an overnight in Toledo would work in that timeframe using public transportation.

Agree, as Spain is actually a very large country and there are many different possibilities of places to see and things to do. It also depends on the time of year. For example Madrid is cold and possibly snowy in the winter while it is very hot in the summer.

The public transport is very good so most places are easy to get to. Train and bus. https://www.tmb.cat/en/home
https://parkguell.barcelona/en tells you everything you need to know
Hotel, well what type? I like to stay in traditional hotel (often on first floor (or second floor if you think the ground floor is the first floor)) but you might prefer more USA type concrete thing. Then again what is the bank you want to break. I tend to pay E100 but you might think E200 is normal. I'd use booking.com to find what I want.
