The Lumbering but Unstoppable Sasquatch of the Appalachians
Two weeks in Spain in September, flying into and out of Madrid. I've done Madrid before, and the girlfriend's more interested in other parts of the country, so we were thinking of only spending a couple days there then bailing to San Sebastian (2-3 days)->Barca (4 days)->Maybe Majorca(2 days)->Andalucia (4 days). Too much for the time? Any other recommendations? I've been all over most of these places, but not for fifteen years. Planning on traveling mostly by rail within the country proper, flying to/from Majorca if we do that.

Presumably instead of Majorca?

After all the feedback we're gonna cut out the islands entirely, probably do something more like this:

Madrid (2-3 days), San Sebastian / Basque Country (3 days), Barcelona (4-5 days), Andalucia--thinking Seville, Granada, Cordoba (4-5 days). We'll look into Logrono and Jerez de la Frontera as well.

San Sebastian also has an incredibly good food scene, my god. Bar-food dinner there was better than most restaurant food I get in a major US city.

So I'm booking a trip for my fam around Italy & Greece stopping off in Portugal to see my pops at the end. Is there anything I need to do in the Athens airport on the way to Lisbon other than just get to the next plane? Not sure if we have to clear customs or do anything specific, want to make sure 1:10 layover is long enough.

Assuming you’re departing from Athens, not connecting, no there won’t be customs or anything. Just standard airport security checks. And p.s. there’s a very good loukumades stand in the airport. I liked the pistachio ones but can’t go wrong with anything with dark chocolate either.

Flying through Athens from Mykonos to Lisbon. Does that change the math at all? Definitely gonna have to make time for pistachio sweets :D
