re: Barcelona--Madrid--Porto

You really won't need it much in Barcelona as a lot of people speak English.

Madrid it is much more hit or miss. It is not as touristy a city and is HUGE, and the people there think they are a bit above it.

Both Barcelona and Madrid have world class restaurants so do your research. Insane food scenes.

Madrid has two of he best museums in Europe and I would do both. They are both amazing in their own right.

Personally, I do not love Madrid at all, but I loved Barcelona.

We did Seville as well which we both absolutely loved.


I have not been to Portugal but its def on the list. I'd love to hit up some Port houses and do the Duoro valley
