    Hi,

    My boyfriend and I are going to be railing around Spain for a couple of weeks in June. We're gonna fly into Seville spend a couple of days there, catch a train to Madrid, then onto Valencia and finally to Barcelona before heading home.

    Has anyone got any suggestions for things to do, places to see, stay and eat?

    We'll be going the middle of June and may or may not head to Barcelona (have heard some really bad reports - but that's for another thread) so any suggestions for other possible destinations would be great too!

    Cheers!

    If you are down near Seville, i would recommend heading over to Granada. I spent a month railing around Spain a couple of years ago and the Allahmbra was definately the hightlight of the trip. I stayed the the Oasis hostel in the old Moorish district which was pretty cool.

    Seville is a nice town to walk around. Lots of cool old buildings.

    I've stayed in the Cats hostel in m=Madrid a couple of times and always had a laugh there. Madrid is cool but its not a pretty city. Some great art museums and the royal palace is fantastic. A day trip to Toledo would be top of my lists of things to do in Madrid. I would recommend a trip out to Segovia aswell.

    Barcelona's good points far outweigh its bad ones so if you do have time you should go there.

    Donostia / San Sebastian absolutely kicks ass. It's Europe's only city with a surf beach (as well as a beautiful lay about and suntan beach), there's next to no lager louts, it's one of the highest regarded places in Spain for cuisine, the weather's fantastic and it's just a beautiful place to boot.

    It's full of Spanish people on holidays but you'll get a handful of backpackers from all over the world too.
