Spain Itinerary
 
Hello,

I am planning a 3 week trip to Spain June 28-July 20. I am most into culture, vilages and nature, and secondary architecture museums.nightlife. I would like to see the following areas

1. Seville, possibly cadiz
2. Day trip to Morocco?
3. Galicia / Santiago De compostela
4. Basque Country
5. Pampolona/ San Sebastian
6. ending in Barcelona. Fly out of Barcelona on July 20.

I am a little overwhelmed and need some guidance, mainly for the Camino de Santiago and northern spain itinerary portion. I am flying out of Barcelona, but know most people start in San Sebastian and go west to Santiago de compostella for camino de santiago.

any itinerary suggestions?

How about Andorra?

I haven't booked my flight there yet, I am leaving Rome on June 28th and not sure where to start my trip .

thank you!

Where to begin:

How many days are you going to walk the Camino? What is your starting point? Do you want to earn a Compostela-a certificate that you walked at least 100 km?

Whatever the answer skip Morocco.

Your answers will help give guidance for the reat.

I don't care about earning the certificate.. don't really need to walk it. Not sure about the starting point.. just want to see some beautiful scenery with small villages.. could take the train if necessary. thank you

I think you would need 30 days to do that trip and it will probably be exhausting and stressful with all of the traveling around a big country. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I would certainly skip Morroco.

You may want to take a look at my blog on the Basque Country, from a local point of view and off the beaten path places, www.blogseitb.us/basquetourism

Where are you starting?
You're going to need to narrow it down, or you'll spend all three weeks rushing from place to place. You should first decide which areas interest you more. In July, I'd be inclined to choose northern Spain and save Andalucia for a future trip because of the heat. You can just do segments of the Camino.

Are you planning on going to Sanfermines/Running of the Bulls in Pamplona? If so, the dates for that is July 6-14th. Pick the couple days you want to go, then work a schedule around that.

Also, for flights from Rome into Spain you may want to check www.vueling.com.
