Spain - Few quesions inside

Hello,

We will be travelling to Spain from May 28th - June 5th

We will start in Barcelona. Then Visit Madrid.

We wanted to visit the areas of Islamic History but not sure if that are is effected by the recent earth quake?

If that does not work out we might visit St Sebastian as I have heard alot about it. what is the best way to get to St Sebastian from barcelona?

What train goes directly from Madrid to Barcelona Airport?

Thanks

trains from Madrid don't go directly to Barcelona airport
( you have to change trains)
For Islamic art, Andalusia is the best location (Cordoba, Granada, Seville)
To SS from Barcelona, fly Vueling to Bilbao and take the bus from the airport to SS.

Please look at a map of Spain. The earthquake damage was near Murcia which is half way between Andalucia and Valencia. San Sebastian is the northeast corner, Madrid, more or less the center and Barcleona, just south of France on the Mediterranean. And as Damon noted Islamic art is mainly in the South.

You are going tp be there for about a week. Choice just one ot two places.

San (not St) Sebastian does not have any Islamic history.
