Since you’re down in Andalucía already, I imagine Granada might be on your list?

But don’t sleep on Cádiz which is a little over an hour south of Sevilla by train - truly a stunning and unique city.

Cádiz, Granada and San Sebastián are my three favorite small-medium cities in Spain.

Unfortunately not. Seville and Cordoba were the only Andalucía cities would could squeeze into this trip. Leaving today to finish our trip in Madrid. Next time we come to Spain, I would focus solely on the Andalucía area and hit all the places you suggested.

Ah that’s a shame but you’ve already seen some great spots. Sevilla is great, a place that just oozes local flavor and charm.

Granada is arguably the crown jewel of the entire country, but Cádiz competes with it as a comparably sized city and is much more off the tourist radar which is nice, plus unlike all the other major Andalusian cities (except Málaga) it’s on the coast so the beach is right there for ya.

I love all of Spain but Andalucía is special, no doubt.

For Madrid make sure you do el Retiro park and at least one or two of the main art museums, Prado is worth it just for the Bosch painting and its grandeur alone.

Past that book a bath and massage/hamam visit at Hamam al Andalus for a unique spa experience.

Get cocktails and bites at Salmon Guru, word class cocktails, chic vibe and decor and unique gastronomical bites to go along with it all.

¡Qué lo pases genial en Madrid!

Joder, echo de menos España…

I agree with you about the vibe in larger cities like Madrid, they’re bustling, but still full of charm. Your experience with tapas and the waiter is a perfect example of how the locals can really make your trip special. I’d also recommend a day trip to Ronda if you're ever back in the area, it’s beautiful and a little more off the beaten path.
