Spain, from Barcelona to Madrid
278 activities · 38 cities
Spain runs on terraces, tapas and neighborhood festivals. Each region has its own character, from Mediterranean beaches to the plains of Castile.
Barcelona and Madrid make a great first pair. On one side, Gaudí, the sea and the Gothic Quarter; on the other, the Prado, Retiro Park and Madrid's nightlife.
Day trips extend the journey: the Montserrat monastery from Barcelona, the old town of Toledo from Madrid. These outings show another side of Spain.
