5 Days in Spain - 6 Unique Itinerary Ideas
A memorable vacation in Spain doesn't require a minimum of two weeks—in just five days you can stick to one or two major cities, like Barcelona and Madrid, or see the highlights of a specific region. Head to Andalusia for Moorish history and architecture, get your fill of artistic and culinary masterpieces in Basque Country, or make it a laidback island vacay on idyllic Mallorca.

2 Weeks in Spain - 6 Unique Itinerary Ideas
With two free weeks to spend in Spain, all options for fun and adventure are on the table.

The six itineraries below represent a diverse array of options to craft the perfect European vacation.
How Many Days to Spend in Spain
More a combination of culturally distinct regions than one homogenous country, Spain is almost too diverse to experience in a single trip—almost. You can enjoy the major areas of this Iberian gem no matter if your interests are leisure and gastronomy, culture and history, or road-trip adventures. See our travel recommendations below to enjoy Spain to the fullest, whether you're here for five days or two weeks.
Best Time of Year to Visit Spain
Spain is best visited in the shoulder season months of late spring (May and June) and early fall (September and October). Countrywide, the weather is warm, there's little to no rain (except for along the Atlantic coast), and you'll be ahead of the peak crowds July and August bring, particularly to the Balearic and Canary islands and coast.
