Your Kind of Escape in Spain
Madrid’s art and late dinners, Barcelona’s Gaudí buildings and beaches, and the Moorish palaces of Andalusia. Spain is big and varied, and fast trains make it easy to combine two or three regions in one trip.
I plan and book these trips for travellers across Canada, from checked destination information rather than a personal trip report.

A few highlights

Madrid
Grand boulevards, the Prado and its neighbours, the Retiro park, and a late, lively food scene. Madrid

Gaudí’s Barcelona
The Sagrada Família, Park Güell and Casa Batlló are all timed-entry sights, so they are worth booking before you travel. Barcelona
Seville, Granada, Córdoba, San Sebastián and the islands are on the same page. See the places
