I agree with you! Spain is a good choice to travel to. It is really a beautiful country in the world to visit.

Barcelona and Madrid are both great cities. I feel very lucky to have spent a lot of time in Spain. Some other cities to visit: Salamanca, near Portugual, has beautiful architecture. The Basque country, too. San Sebastian is possibly the most beautiful city in the region, but Bilbao is worth visiting for the Guggenheim museum and old town, and the little seaside village of Hondarabbia. Outside Madrid are towns like Segovia, Toledo, and Avila, Toledo is probably the most famous. And Andalucia in the south, Grenada for the Alhambra, and Cordoba is very charming. Seville is very touristic but the old quarter is fantastic and you have to visit the bull ring for a tour!
The Lonely Planet guide books are always an excellent source of info and they tend to be honest, too—some guidebooks manage to find charm everywhere, but LP tells it like it is, so you don't waste time or money. As for taking the train, I found buses to actually be better. They are quite cheap and reasonably comfortable. A friend and I took the bus from Madrid to Grenada, and then travelled by bus all over Andalucia, and it was fine.
Missed the Picasso museum in Barcelona! I spent too much time in the old town... Santander!

I like nature. I like to travel all of the world. I’ve been somewhere. But most strikingly attractive place is Spain. I’ve made a travel to Spain last year. I stay in a Madrid hotel around 2 weeks. I tried to make around over the whole Madrid. I could say that it is a real beautiful and modern city. But if you went to Costa del Sol, you will be in another feeling. Sunshine, sandy and Blue Sea, a good relax place for the younger and older. I recommend you to choose Spain as your resort for the next holiday. I am sure you will find some uncontemplated thing.

Gee so many people can´t be wrong. I have a cousin who is moving to Spain in a couple of weeks.. After reading these posts I decided to let him know that I will pay him a visit for sure sometime in the future.

Regards

I think once you're in Spain, you can't miss hotel in tenerife and mallorca. They are all unforgettable places to visit and I'd love to go back for awhile. If you're in Barcelona be sure to check out the Picasso museum as well and I think the best way to get around Spain is by train, and you can see the beautiful scene along the way.
Have a good trip in Spain!
