The Northern coast of Spain
How kimkim Trips Work in Spain

Spain is known for its historical charm, beaches, and (of course) incredible gastronomy. With the help of our local specialists, you can discover the must-see cities, romantic hidden villages and dramatic landscapes. In this article, we'll go over how kimkim will help you craft the perfect Spanish adventure.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful experience working with Coraima to plan our trip and experience some wonderful memories. Her enthusiasm for the region and her flexibility in working with four different adults (with opinions) helped to create a vacation that met all of our needs. For me, the best features had to do with drivers that made transitions between regions worry free, and guides that provided the cultural history and local details of the area. Thanks for everything.

We had a wonderful experience working with Coraima to plan our trip and experience some wonderful memories.

From Flamingo dancers to homemade lunches on a 500 year old working pig farm, we got to see not only the tourist sites but some Kimkim gems. Wine tours with Eduardo and a market day with Inaki gave us great insights into the Basque Country.
When there were questions, we were always able to reach out to someone who provided help.

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.

Sorry for the delay in getting the review done, but since returning from our Epic Journey we have been busy preparing our house & yard for winter.
As for our trip;
- Timing for all our transfers, hotel locations and quality of hotels were exceptional. 10/10
- KimKim selection and arrangement of all tours met expectations with minor issues, which we have provided comments below. 9/10
- KimKim selections of meal locations and foods tours was also exceptional, which provided us with a broad selection of the local culture. 10/10
- All guides were exceptional, they were very personable and provided an informative review of the areas that they toured us through. They were all engaged in their work which was nice to see. 10/10
- Ease of access to rail and bus service from our accommodation was incredibly good, as we were in central or almost central locations, which allowed us to walk to most of the attractions in the city.
- 0verall the whole trip was fantastic with no issues whatsoever. We would select Kim Kim again when we are planning another vacation. 9.5/10
Following are comments about the activities that were arranged by KimKim:
- Montserrat Museum did not meet our expectations, as we were unable to see buildings and churches without paying extra for passes. 7/10
- Mix-up with our driver/taxi for our Ronda & White Village tours as we our driver was unable to speak any English, which made it difficult to communicate. We were able to do so using our phones to type messages, which allowed the driver to provide us with updates as to what we were doing. Overall, the trip was good. 8/10
- Our Discover Rural Algarve trip was similar to the Sunset Trip the day before. Although we were unable to change the trip when we check with KimKim, our driver was very accommodating and as such being a local, he was able to change the trip to allow us to see other parts of the Algarve that we did not see the day before. His knowledge of the area and history of such allowed this mix-up to turn into a very exceptional daytrip. 9.0/10
- Our final accommodation at the Wine House Hotel did not meet our expectations. Although it was a unique experience with relaxing views of the vineyard, the room was very small and difficult to maneuver within 8.0/10
Thank you to you and the KimKim team for planning such a wonderful trip. We look forward to using KimKim in the future.

This hotel is of course in a vineyard so away from everything. We stayed in the wine barrel rooms which were very unique but having said that no room for luggage. very tight. Not much to do.
