Spending 1 week in Spain allows for just enough time to combine one or two major cities with other bucket-list destinations. The gastronomic delights of Barcelona and historic sights of Madrid make for a great match. Go on a hiking trip in the Pyrenees and spend a day out on a beach in San Sebastián. Not much of a beach bum? Head for the nearby Logroño and try La Rioja’s famous wine. There are countless things to do during 7 days in Spain. But before you pack your bags, scroll down and pore over our recommended tours for 4 to 8 days.
