Thoughts on Spain itinerary?!
I had posted in October regarding a trip to Spain with our 2 boys. Well, I have now almost finalized it.
March 22nd- evening flight from London to Sevilla(stay for 2 nights)
March 24th- drive to Ronda and stay for 2 nights.
March 26th early morning - drive to Granada and stay for the night.
March 27th - evening flight to London
Had considered Malaga/Marbella before instead of Granada however since its not beach weather anyways decided to skip it. However in Granada am not sure if the Alhambra palace will be too much for the boys..Any thoughts???
Am getting a good deal on Ryanair for London-Sevilla and Granada-London tickets.
TIA

Hi, I would do two days in Granada and one in Ronda.
Granada as Josele say has the complex of the Alhambra
which is a fantastic place to visit. For any age.
You must buy tickets ahead of time which can easily be done, last time I did it was through a bank. I forgot the name of those banks. This is would be the highlight of your trip, no doubt. A fascinated place as you can read in any guide book. Good luck.

I was able to book the train tickets on renfe using the Visa card(for some reason it kept on erroring with the AMEX card!!)
On 25th after Alcazar, by car to Ronda
25th night - Don Miguel in Ronda
26th afternoon drive to Granada and stay in Granada 26th and 27th nights. Flight to London is at 9 pm on 28th..

I think you're trying to squeeze too much into a 1-week visit.
If I were going during those dates, somewhere in the Comunitát de Valencia (Benidorm?) would be my Base. They stretch the San José festivities as long as they can.

Have a quick question about Alhambra! I have booked online tickets for March 27th. I read somewhere you need the pin of your credit card to retrieve the tickets at the time of visit. It said it is the security pin? Is that true? I am not fully sure what that is!

Weather update: temperatures have increased, sometimes in the middle of the day you can walk short-sleeved in the sun, though in the shade is cool, especially when breezy, a windbreaker needed. Today is windy and lower. At night you need sweater and light jacket.
