10 Day Spain Itinerary, incl. Madrid and Barcelona
Spanish heritage comes alive through 8 cities, covering 1,200km from Madrid to Barcelona and back. Visit UNESCO sites including Córdoba's Mosque-Cathedral and Granada's Alhambra. Stay at selected hotels like Rafael Atocha Madrid and Melia Lebreros Seville.
- Days 1-2
Madrid
Start in Madrid in the afternoon to skip the morning rush hour traffic from the airport. Take an evening illuminations tour to see Plaza Mayor and other landmarks. A helpful tip from a visitor: "Get to Plaza Mayor before 8 PM - the tapas bars fill up quickly and you'll have trouble finding a seat after that." Visit Puerta del Sol and the Cibeles Fountain early in the morning before the tour buses arrive.
- Day 3
Mérida & Seville
Take the 4-hour bus ride from Madrid to Mérida to see its Roman Theater. One visitor notes: "The Roman ruins were incredible, but bring water and a hat - there's very little shade." Head to Seville in the afternoon. Book your dinner spots ahead of time since the best tapas bars in Santa Cruz fill up fast.
- Day 4
Seville
Start at the Cathedral when it opens at 8:30 AM to avoid crowds. You can take a boat trip on the Guadalquivir River, but one visitor suggests: "The river cruise is quite basic - consider using that time to explore more of the Santa Cruz quarter instead." For the evening flamenco show, get there 30 minutes early for good seats near the stage.
- Day 5
Córdoba & Granada
Drive to Córdoba (2 hours) and visit the Mezquita-Catedral early. Continue to Granada (2.5 hours). A traveler suggests: "Book a room facing away from the street in Granada - the city stays lively until very late."
- Day 6
Granada to Valencia
Visit the Alhambra palace complex first thing. A visitor recommends: "Book the first morning slot at the Alhambra - not only for fewer crowds but because the light is magical for photos." The drive to Valencia takes over 4 hours along the coast.
- Days 7-8
Valencia to Barcelona
See Valencia's old town and City of Arts and Sciences in the morning before driving 4 hours to Barcelona. Plan your Barcelona visit carefully. One traveler warns: "You must book Sagrada Familia tickets weeks in advance. Don't expect to just walk up and get in." Start your full day at Park Güell before the crowds arrive.
- Days 9-10
Zaragoza & Madrid
Stop in Zaragoza on your way back to Madrid. Visit the basilica but remember that "the church closes between 2-4 PM for siesta," according to one traveler. The final stretch to Madrid takes about 3 hours. Spend your last night near Plaza Santa Ana for easy access to great tapas spots.
10 Day Spain Itinerary, incl. Madrid and Santiago de Compostela
The ancient Camino paths lead from Madrid to Santiago de Compostela, covering 100km through 8 distinct locations. Walk 20-25km daily from Sarria through Portomarin, Palas de Rei, and Melide, finishing at the historic cathedral.
- Days 1-2
Madrid
Spend two days discovering Spain's capital. Visit Plaza Mayor early to beat the crowds, then head to the Prado Museum. Book your tickets online to skip the lines. A regular visitor suggests: "Visit the Real Jardín Botánico in the afternoon when the light is perfect for photos." Spend your evenings in Malasaña, where you'll find excellent tapas bars.
- Day 3
Madrid to Sarria
Take the 6-hour morning train north to Sarria. Use your afternoon to collect your pilgrim passport and walk around this small town. Important: You can only bring one 20kg bag which will be transported between stops.
- Day 4
Sarria to Portomarín (22km)
Begin your Camino through the Galician countryside. One pilgrim advises: "Get an early start to avoid afternoon heat." Stop at Barbadelo and Ferreiros to rest. Plan for 6-7 hours of walking.
- Day 5
Portomarín to Palas de Rei (25km)
The route gets hillier today. Consider using walking poles for the steeper parts. After 7-8 hours on the trail, reward yourself with coffee at a local café in Palas de Rei.
- Day 6
Palas de Rei to Melide (15km)
Today's shorter walk gives you time to explore Melide and its famous octopus dishes. "Share a pulpo platter at a pulpería. It's a must-try Galician specialty, but the portions are huge," recommends one traveler.
- Days 7-8
Melide to Arzúa to Amenal
Walk through peaceful eucalyptus forests and small villages. The paths are easier here but can be slippery after rain. Each day covers 20-25km and takes 6-8 hours.
- Days 9-10
Amenal to Santiago de Compostela
The walk into Santiago often moves pilgrims deeply. Plan to arrive for the noon pilgrim mass at the cathedral. A fellow pilgrim notes: "Getting your Compostela certificate feels like such an achievement. Don't forget to get your final stamps!"
10 Days in Spain, incl. Madrid and Barcelona
A grand 10-day Spanish tour takes you through 5 major cities: Madrid's Royal Palace, Seville's Gothic Cathedral, Granada's Alhambra, Valencia's historic center, and Barcelona's Olympic stadium. Features 9 breakfasts, English guides, and 4-star hotels throughout.
- Days 1-2
Madrid
Begin at the Royal Palace around 11 AM. Book skip-the-line tickets ahead of time since morning lines get long. The tour takes about 2 hours. After that, walk down Gran Via. A recent visitor said: "Getting to the Egyptian Debod Temple for sunset was a highlight—the golden light over Madrid is incredible, but bring a light jacket as evenings can be cool."
- Days 3-4
Seville
Take a morning train from Madrid to Cordoba (2.5 hours) to see the Mezquita mosque-cathedral. Visit between 2-4 PM when it's less crowded. Then continue to Seville for two nights. Walk the Santa Cruz quarter early before it gets hot. Get to the cathedral right when it opens at 10:30 AM to avoid lines.
- Day 5
Granada
It's a 3-hour drive to Granada. Book Alhambra tickets months ahead for the 2 PM time slot to avoid peak sun. For evening flamenco in the Sacromonte caves, shows start at 8:30 PM. Get there by 8 PM for good seats.
- Day 6
Valencia
The train ride from Granada takes about 5 hours. Visit the City of Arts and Sciences in late afternoon for the best photos. You can walk the historic center at night when it's cooler.
- Days 7-8
Barcelona
Take a morning train along the coast (3 hours). Start at Montjuic for city views before exploring the Gothic Quarter. Book 9 AM Sagrada Familia tickets for your second day to see the best light. A visitor noted: "The Passeig de Gracia looks completely different at night when Gaudi's buildings are lit up—don't miss an evening stroll here."
- Day 9
Madrid
Return to Madrid via Zaragoza (2.5 hours). Visit the Prado Museum after 4 PM when crowds thin out. Entry is free for the last 2 hours.
- Day 10
Departure
Most international flights leave from Terminal 4. Leave central Madrid 45 minutes before your flight time since morning traffic can be heavy.

What people love about 10-day Spain tours
- Discovery of Spain - 10 days
Well organized. Not actually ran by Click Tours, but contracted through MapaPlus. They have a unique style of running tours, in that you will not be with the same group the entire 10 days. Smaller groups will join and leave your group depending on which "itinerary" they booked. Same with the tour guide. Hotels were very nice (superior package worth it), centrally located with great breakfasts. Premium package included good meals that showcased Spanish cuisine and some additional excursions, though the river cruise in Sevilla was lame. (Tip: Leave from Barcelona if you can, cause the final day was really just traveling back to Madrid. Use taxis during your free time to get around, drivers are honest and fares are cheap.) Have to deduct a star for the first few days where we were the only English speakers, and the guides skimped on translation. Our guide for the latter half (Alejandra) was good. Positive experience overall. Grateful to have been able to see Spain, especially during the pandemic.
- Camino de Santiago Encompassed
Matched me with G tours. Everyone followed up, made changes as needed & worked well together.
- Northern Spain Real Food Adventure (from Barcelona to Santiago de Compostela)
Above my expectations, really good!
