1 Week in Spain - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas
With one week in Spain, you can take a fast-paced trip to experience Spain's top cities, Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville. Or dive deeper into one region by sampling the legendary cuisine of the Basque Country, laze on Mediterranean beaches, tour Madrid, or enjoy some unique culture in the southern Andalusia region. Below we list five different itineraries that show you how.
Barcelona & Rural Catalonia - 7 Days
This active weeklong adventure starts in cosmopolitan Barcelona where you'll explore the city's best landmarks, sail in the Mediterranean, and tour a stunning monastery tucked away in the mountains. From here, head north to Vic—a rural town surrounded by dreamy medieval architecture and hiking trails in the foothills of the Pyrenees.
Best of Spain Highlights Tour: Seville, Madrid & Barcelona - 7 Days
Check off Spain's three most exciting cities for a weeklong adventure you won't soon forget. The trip starts in Seville where you'll explore the best rooftops, tapas, and flamenco performers in the historic center. Then, train to Madrid (by way of Córdoba) and wander through the elegant streets and Prado Museum. Finish in cosmopolitan Barcelona for beachy vibes and a private tour of La Sagrada Familia.
Barcelona & the Costa Brava - 7 Days
This weeklong adventure combines a mix of private tours and free time for the ultimate introduction to Spain's Catalonia region. Kick off the week in cosmopolitan Barcelona for Gaudí architecture, tapas bars, and Mediterranean beaches.

Best of Andalusia: Seville, Ronda & Málaga - 7 Days
This weeklong adventure takes you from Seville to Málaga through a beautiful section of Spain's southern coast. Along the route, you'll experience Andalusia's iconic "white villages" (like Ronda, set on a spectacular gorge) as you head toward the Atlantic coast while discovering Roman and Moorish architecture, picturesque landscapes, and local cuisine—often with the help of private guides.
Northern Spain Road Trip: Madrid to Basque Country - 7 Days

Family Trip to Spain: Barcelona & Madrid - 7 Days
In just one week, you can enjoy the perfect family holiday in Spain by visiting the two most iconic cities in the nation: Madrid and Barcelona.

Terrific Kimkim team

My KimKim team in Spain — Alfonso & Uhaina — could not have been better. Immediately responsive to any and every question or need that I had. I was ill in Sevilla for several days. They coordinated with my hotel staff to ensure I had all the care and attention I needed. Being sick in a foreign land is uncomfortable to say the least. The help and reassurance they provided was invaluable. When my plans changed because of the illness, they rearranged everything with professionalism and kindness. I cannot recommend KimKim more highly. I will use KimKim for every trip f rom now on.
Dear Connie.
Yes, it was a shame that you couldn´t enjoy all your activities because of your health problems, but I think that other kinds of human values appeared during those days.
Take care & see you again!
