We narrowed it down to Barcelona and Madrid/Seville/Grenada..... Any recommendations for food or places to stay? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-925958 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:27:00 +0000 littlebug 925958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second (or 10th) the Barcelona recommendations. I was robbed and had my passport/credit cards stolen there, but I'd STILL go back. Loved it. And I also loved Madrid. If you go to Madrid, you should see a bullfight at the old bull ring. It was really cool.</p> <p>I really wanted to go to Sevilla, too, but after getting robbed I didn't have much money and was too afraid to continue traveling on my own (my sister was with me in Barcelona and Madrid, but she was supposed to leave from Madrid and I was supposed to stay another week to continue exploring on my own). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-925886 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:11:13 +0000 Mrs. J 925886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ps Segovia is where the model for sleeping beauty castle is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-925884 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:10:47 +0000 Mrs. J 925884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Madrid, Barcelona, Segovia, Granada, Cordoba, Sevilla, Salamanca, Toledo. I highly recommend Madrid/Barcelona and somewhere in Andalucia (ie Granada, Sevilla, Cordoba). The south of Spain is very cool!</p> <p>I studied in Spain in college, so I travelled quite a bit. I lived in Madrid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-925315 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:18:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 925315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Barcelona and Granada! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-925311 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:16:37 +0000 Dapple Grey 925311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Marbella :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-925301 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:14:00 +0000 Mrs.Someone 925301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Barcelona, Madrid, then drove around the north. I loved Barcelona (all the Gaudi stuff!) Also Bilbao has an awesome Guggenheim museum. A Coruña was a great small city to walk around in. And driving through the Picos de Europa was amazing, there are so many miniscule cities along the way, along with super old cobblestone cities. There are some great castles all around also! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-925255 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 22:42:21 +0000 sooz 925255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely go to Granada. It's a little off the beaten path b/c it's in southern Spain, but it has the Alhambra which is an AMAZING site. It's also great to go there because southern Spain is very different from Madrid and Barcelona in that it's heavily influenced by the Moors, so the architecture, the food, and everything else has an Arabic influence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-925179 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 22:14:54 +0000 tequiero21 925179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: oooh cool, will check out, thx! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-922116 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:49:47 +0000 MrsKoala 922116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toledo was really beautiful! I highly recommend it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-922108 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:48:27 +0000 tequiero21 922108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: @travelgirl1: @mrs. bird: @jhd: @BeachMama: @Ree723: @softcream: @78h2o: @TheSwissWifeStyle: thx ladies!!! I think Barcelona is definitely the top contender. I think we will be there 6 nights. Think 3 in Barcelona and 3 in another city is enough? Maybe Madrid? I'll have to look up the other cities, thx ladies!</p> <p>@78h2o: wow! I think I would have loved to have lived in Spain for a bit! I think I would really enjoy the food and maybe my Spanish would have improved! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-921123 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 01:31:40 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 921123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Been to Barcelona a few times, it's pretty great! Definitely try to go to Tapas 24, and eat their Patatas Bravas, and Pan Catalonia. (sp?) The potatoes are the best I've had in Barcelona, everything is so good there! Go early because a line forms out the door!</p> <p>Also there's this "fake" old town called El Poble Espanol. It was set up in the 20's I think for some kind of fair. It depicts a typical Spanish town from long ago. They were going to demolish it after the fair, but they kept it up and it's pretty cool to go to! (You might have to check that story, my memory is spotty!) But we went there and saw a Flamenco Dinner show that was cool. </p> <p>Also, Cava! Drink lots of Cava, and get Cava Sangria if you can! So good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-921090 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 00:05:27 +0000 78h2o 921090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so jealous! Spain is fantastic! I love all of the cities previous posters have mentioned. I studied abroad there and visited pretty much every city, though it was almost 15 years ago! Let me know if you have any questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-921086 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 23:56:27 +0000 softcream 921086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>barcelona and san sebastian. both are fun eating and touring destinations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-921057 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 23:11:29 +0000 Ree723 921057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely Barcelona! One of my favourite cities in Europe - it's just awesome, that is all I can say about it. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-921039 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 22:43:37 +0000 BeachMama 921039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sevilla and Granada are two of my favorites! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-921033 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 22:39:58 +0000 jhd 921033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Barcelona was my favorite place I visited. It was ten tears ago so I won't be much help with specific places to eat but I liked paella &amp; tapas! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-921002 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 22:12:40 +0000 mrs. bird 921002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go to the Dali museum! Amazing! Looooved Barcelona &amp; Madrid was also lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-920999 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 22:09:14 +0000 travelgirl1 920999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure the cities @PurpleUnicorn: mentioned, they're all beautiful. I also love Alicante because we got married there (and A is getting christened there next month) so I'm biased :heart: and also this <a href="http://www.puebloacantilado.com/en" rel="nofollow">http://www.puebloacantilado.com/en</a> is where we had our reception and it's super, super beautiful to stay at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-920985 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 22:01:43 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 920985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia. I can't remember names of places but I loved so many things about Spain when I visited in 2005! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spain-what-cities#post-920979 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 21:57:51 +0000 tequiero21 920979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are thinking Spain!! Any recommendations re: cities? And places to eat, tour, etc? </p>
