I've got a week in Spain at the start of December - I've got flights into Barcelona, and out of Madrid. I'm tossing up between splitting it 3 days in each, or going somewhere else in the middle with 2 days each. I've looked at Zaragoza and Valencia - and the more I look, the more I wish I had more time! So, some opinions from people who've been there before would be greatly appreciated!

Doctor Malaver posted:You could spend the entire week in Madrid and likewise in Barcelona. Three days is very short period for those great cities and cutting it even shorter is a terrible idea. What you've said is basically what I was thinking - was just worried I'd totally miss the real Spain (eg if you come to New Zealand and spend some time in Auckland and some in Wellington you're kinda missing the point).

Saladman posted:When you factor in time getting to/from both airports, it's probably the same speed (or slower than) taking a train. Was thinking about bussing Barcelona->Zaragoza->Mardid, with a couple of days in the middle. Bus is about 3 hours, which I guess is about how long it'd take to fly Barcelona->Madrid. Might grab some direct flights then. Vueling of Spanair? Price is the same on the surface...

enki42 posted:Barca and Madrid are really not all that bad for a rough idea of Spain. Normally I'd say Granada is a must-see, but I'd much rather spend 3 days in each of Madrid and Barcelona than try to split it 3 ways. Booked some flights on Spanair (free checked baggage!) from Barcelona to Madrid.

SeamlessLink posted:3) I have a Garmin Nuvi 205. Research says that it does work in Europe, but who knows if I have the maps for it. Is there any place to figure this out? 3) If you don't know then odds are you don't. I've looked into this - extra maps cost roughly the same as a whole GPS. 4) Buy an adapter for $5. I bought one in advance off Dealextreme.com. Note that they all use 240v, so if you use 120v at home then make sure you check stuff before plugging it in! If you're taking several things, take a multi-box so you can charge them all at the same time.
