These choices depend on what draws you to each of these places.

With 6 full days, you might be well-advised to stay in Spain and save a lot of transportation time, because Lisbon first would require a flight. Barcelona to Bordeaux flights take a little over an hour, and trains about 6. To see what spanish airports you can fly into, go to skyscanner.com and search your home airport to ES.

Perhaps fly into Bilbao, a big int airport. Spend a little time in vibrant Bilbao, and then go to close by San Sebastian (70 mins bus ride). Fly from Bilbao to Barcelona in one hour.
