Travel Review: Best of Spain by Train, Barcelona, Seville, Granada, Alhambra, Cordoba, Madrid, etc.

Emphasize more of what we are looking for in hotels. For example, in Valencia, because I had said I wanted to go to the beach, thinking it would be warm, our hotel was by the beach. However, it is winter in Spain right now, like everywhere else (silly me!), so we ended up being a 40 minute walk from the center of Valencia, which is where most of the things we wanted to see were located. The hotel we stayed at was really meant more for business people, and the staff wasn't friendly, so it wasn't a good fit for us. So, really, the next time we take a trip, we will be sure to communicate more clearly and do a bit more research. We made it work though, and got to figure out Valencia's bus system and got some fitness in as well!
