See the itinerary here.

Days 1–4: Madrid

flight time from the U.S.: 7.5–9 hours

In Spain, all roads lead to Madrid—specifically, to the Puerto del Sol in the heart of the city, which marks the very center of the country's road system. This large stone plaza is one of the liveliest spots in a city known for its energetic pace; it's lined with restaurants and shops, government offices, and famous statues, including the Bear and the Madroño Tree that appears on the municipal coat of arms.

  • Must-see attractions: the Royal Palace of Madrid and the Plaza de Toros de las Ventas, which hosts traditional bullfights from March–October
  • Where you'll stay: Located in the city's historic district, Hotel Tryp Atocha boasts modern guest rooms, a premium breakfast buffet, and a lobby bar that serves Spanish wines and tapas well into the night. Rooms at The Hotel Agumar are available if Hotel Tryp Atocha is fully booked.
  • What to do nearby: The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the Museo Nacional del Prado, which houses Fra Angelico's The Anunciation as well as works by El Greco, Velázquez, and Goya.

Days 5–8: Barcelona

train travel time from Madrid: 2.5 hours

Barcelona is Madrid's hip younger sister, praised as "quirky, cosmopolitan and effortlessly cool" by Frommer's. Even the city's historic Gothic Quarter, which dates back to medieval times, is a trendy hangout full of bars, restaurants, and cafes. La Sagrada Familia, a whimsical cathedral designed by modernist architect Antoni Gaudi, is another good example of the city's quirky charm. Its elaborate stone spires and neon-colored stained glass are still works in progress—construction is estimated to be complete in 2027 at the earliest.

  • Must-see attractions: Parc Guell, a hilltop garden covered in colorful mosaic tiles, and La Rambla, a tree-lined pedestrian mall with lots of sidewalk cafes and souvenir kiosks
  • Where you'll stay: Hotel Tryp Condal Mar, which is a 40-minute transit ride from the city center, features a 24-hour fitness center and outdoor pool with great views of the city. Rooms at Eurohotel Diagonal Port are available if Hotel Tryp Condal Mar is fully booked.
  • What to do nearby: Walk to Mar Bella Beach, where you can stroll along the sand or swim in the Mediterranean.
