spain

[b etor]

a few days ago, i found out that i am going to go to spain with my older sister and parents. when my dad woke me up to tell me this, i didn't really care and said 'maybe' when he asked if i wanted to go.
they already bought the tickets. i can have one of my younger siblings go instead of me if i don't want to go, but i'll most likely end up going.

i have no idea why they invited me. i'm grounded from nearly everything right now. [[i'm on a different computer since mine was taken away by my parents]]. i think they just don't want to leave me home. oh well.

we'll be there 8 or 11 days, i don't remember which. and we're leaving mid-february.

so what is there that is definitely worth seeing? anyone have pictures?

oh and i guess we're going to visit morocco sometime cuz it's near there.

Spain is rather big and varied. Where are you going?

[b etor]

everywhere?

we're landing in madrid at 10:00, then spending the day and night somewhere in valencia. then driving to málaga and staying at the grangefield oasis club, or something like that, for a while, then drive to other places while we're there. my father is bad at planning things, so i need to figure out what we're going to be doing.

Do you actually mean you will be going to all or most of the major cities?

I've been to both Iberian countries this year so I've had my fill. I am wondering what trips I am going to make next year. I wouldn't mind popping to Paris, was only there briefly the last time I was there any never really got a proper look around - could do with a few days. And it is hardly distant - in fact it is quicker and easier to get to than my home city...

Just one day in Madrid?

And then going to Marocco... :nuts: You'll spend half a day at the ferry...

If you only have a week and a half to spend, spend a third at least in Madrid (go to the Prado twice) and vist el Escorial nearby.

Malaga is nice, certainly worth a day or two. Spend a day in Granada as well, visit the alhambra, perhaps go skiing for a day as well. (if you're there in winter)

Spend the remaining days somewhere in between Madrid and the south.


Come back a second time for Barcelona and the north.

Actually I wouldn't mind a better look at other parts of Spain such as Madrid or Valencia or Granada...the Northern Coast looks pretty appealing as well.

And if you are in that area, Lisbon is a cool city...I'm a big fan of Lisbon...

[LordShiva]

I've been to Madrid, Toledo, Seville, Cordoba, Salamanca, Granada, Gibraltar, and Lisbon. They were all teh

I still need to visit Barcelona, and more importantly, Ibiza.

Grenada is in the Caribbean, not in Spain
