Spain vs Spain + Portugal (15 days, mid-June) — itinerary feedback?
Hi, I’ve been reading past threads, but I’m still unsure how to structure this trip and would really appreciate some feedback.
Trip details:
- ~15 days total (mid-June, somewhat flexible)
- Flying from the US (likely into Barcelona, out of Lisbon)
- Budget: mid-range (mix of hotels + occasional nicer stays)
- Interests: food, walkable cities, history, some architecture, not big on rushing or checking boxes
What I’ve researched so far:
I came up with two rough options:
Option A (Spain only):
- Barcelona (4 days)
- Madrid (3 days)
- Seville (3–4 days)
- Granada (2 days)
Option B (Spain + Portugal):
- Barcelona (3–4 days)
- Seville (3 days)
- Lisbon (3 days)
- Porto (2–3 days)
My questions:
- Does Option B feel too rushed given the travel time between Spain and Portugal?
- If sticking to Spain, would you prioritize Granada over somewhere like Valencia or more time in Madrid?
- Any adjustments you’d make to improve pacing?
