Travel Review: Vacation in Spain, Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Bilbao, Guggenheim, Sagrada Familia, Pintxos Tour

We enjoyed our travel through Spain.  We only had 3 full days in Barcelona which was not nearly enough.  Next time, 5 days minimum.  It was recommended we stay 3 nights in San Sebastian which was one night too many.  Although it is very beautiful, we felt 2 nights would have been enough.  With 3 nights in San Sebastian, we were only able to stay 2 nights in Bilbao.  This was a mistake since Bilbao was very interesting, has so much character...a wonderful city.  We drove from San Sebastian to Bilbao.  Although the distance is not great, we made many stops and got lost once in Bilbao because we could not get the navigation system to work properly.  We arrived too late to take our arranged tour of the city.   We only had one full day in Bilbao which we devoted to the Guggenheim.  Our 4 nights in Madrid were wonderful, but we really only had 3 full days.  We spent the better part of 2 days on the train which I would not repeat.  With only 2 weeks total, it would have been better use of our time to fly.

The Tours that our agent arranged for us were great.  We loved Monserrat, wine tasting, the Familia Segrada, the Picasso Walking Tour, the pintxos tour, walking tour of Madrid, etc.  We just didn't have enough time.
