I'm glad to see that you added Toledo. I'll again suggest Cordoba.

As I see you dont care much packing and unpacking, you may try the Almagro Parador (Ciudad Real) on your way to Toledo.

i would fly from palma to granada and take the trip from there.

no airport near salamanca.

then do salamanca on way back driving up after toledo.

I vote for Cordoba as well. The mosque (sp?) is really amazing.

lincasanova,

good idea to fly into Granada however, one slight problem. Our son and his wife are flying to Spain in Dec. 22 to meet us. I am trying to figure out where they need to fly in so they can meet us. They will not have a car. They want to see southern Spain.

fly to lisbon if evora is still a priority. then get yourselves all to sevilla and wait for them there.

depending on how many days they have.. they may have to cut their stay short there in order to see more of andalucia.
