Your one week in Spain starting in Barcelona is more of your 2nd day. There are many places to choose for staying but I would recommend the Las Ramblas real estate locations.

Start your Barcelona tour by taking a walk from Las Ramblas and Passeig de Gracia, the most visited tourist spot. After this, you can find food and drinks in alleys of the Gothic Quarter.

The Las Ramblas, Hotel 1898, has architecture from the late 19th century and its decor is what attracts tourists the most. Though, you get modern services with top-notch service in this hotel. And not to mention the Hotel 1898’s rooftop pool that offers the most beautiful view of Barcelona.

4. Segovia And Toledo

Segovia and Toledo are sister walled cities that are just 30 minutes away from Spain through a high-speed train. You have two options here.

If you have the option for 7 or 8-day trips to Spain, you can visit both these cities from Madrid on different days and spend the remaining time walking around Madrid. But if you just have 7-day tour of Spain, you can visit either both or just one of the two cities.

If you ask as, well, Segovia is more beautiful of the two and also cheaper if you are on a tight budget. Every single street in Segovia is a treat to the eyes and no matter which street you take. If you have just one night’s time to discover a bit more of Spain, go to Segovia as its sister, Toledo has some pretty amazing places but Toledo requires time.

First of all, it’s on a hilly area and thus it gets a tad difficult to walk around. It is also a bit more confusing and if you are in hurry to reach a destination, being lost in Toledo isn’t as nice as it’s in Segovia. So, depending on the time you have, Segovia or Toledo is your choice to make.

Cordoba is just 45 minutes high-speed train away from Madrid. It is an Andalucían city with Moorish architecture on a riverside laden with cafes and bars. It is a rather less active place to have some quiet time for you among some amazing wine dropped tapas. The Mosque-cathedral is a tourist spot that everyone loves to visit which originally a mosque but later became a cathedral in the 10th century. For a change, you can rent a cycle to look around Cordoba, Spain in Europe if you have already done a lot of walking.

Malaga has a youthful vigor that offers a multi-layered past. It has half a dozen art galleries and it is the birthplace of Pablo Piccaso.
