Spain is known for its historical charm, beaches, and (of course) incredible gastronomy.

10 Days in Spain - 6 Unique Itinerary Ideas
With 10 days in Spain, you can tick off must-see highlights in Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville while traveling by train. Or, focus on Catalonia and enjoy a relaxed pace trip on the Costa Brava. Foodies will love delving into the culinary scene of the Basque Country, while beachgoers can stick to Southern Spain's (and Morocco's) resort towns and uncrowded beaches. For an island escape, settle in for 10 days in the Balearics or two days in Porto on a Portugal and Spain road trip adventure.
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. You can embark on food and wine tours throughout the country, laze on the white-sand beaches, tour the Moorish palaces of Andalusia, and even make a jaunt to Portugal. The six itineraries below represent a diverse array of options to craft the perfect European vacation.
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.
Best Time of Year to Visit Spain
Spain is best visited in the shoulder season months of late spring (May to June) and early fall (September to 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.
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.

Barcelona was magical! The food tour with Gabbi was outstanding the Barcelona cooking school with incredible recipes of Cadillac custard and pie by Johannes was well worth the time and effort! One of the best photo houses in Barcelona was the Mesa house where we had a delicious meal simple that went along with the enchanting music. I will definitely come back to Barcelona.
