Planning a holiday to Spain?
It is easier than ever both to get to Spain and to travel around the country, with more flights and better train connections. The relatively new high-speed train link between Paris and Barcelona means you can leave London in the morning and arrive in the Catalan capital in time for dinner. It sounds very civilised to me.
With 3,100km of track the Spanish high-speed AVE trains operate on the longest high-speed network in Europe. Running at speeds of up to 310 km/h this extensive network allows for fast connections between cities in Spain. Travel from Madrid to Barcelona in less than 3 hours! This modern train system connects many cities across Spain from Madrid and Barcelona, to Córdoba, Seville, Malaga and Valencia. See AVE map below.
Here's my 11 day itinerary holiday in Spain in March 2017
1) 2 Nights in Madrid
- Day tour to Avila and Segovia (booked through Viator)
2) 4 Nights in Sevilla
- Free city historic walking tour
- Day tour to Granada
3) 5 Nights in Barcelona
- Sagrada Familia tour
- Free city walking tour
- Day tour to Monserrat
I choose this because there are more to see and do in the latter 2 cities.
Where to stay in Madrid?
I stayed in an AirBnB apartment near Sol Station . Very convenient, close to good food and sights.
Alternatively, stay near the Calle Grand Via area. This is also a very vibrant area.
Where to stay in Sevilla?
I booked an apartment near to Sevilla Cathedral. Very convenient and within walking distance to most good restaurants, sights and shopping.
Where to stay in Barcelona?
Suggest to stay somewhere central, like Placa Catalunya or around La Ramblas. This will allow you to radiate outwards and do sightseeing, shopping and dining very conveniently.
I booked an AirBnB just off La Rambla which is very good in terms of convenience to food, shopping and sight-seeing.
For inter-city travels in Spain, I book my AVE tickets via Eurail.(http://www.eurail.com/). Book early to get cheap fares.
