So a month or so ago I asked for recommendations regarding Ireland for a honeymoon. After a lot of discussion with my bride-to-be, we purchased airline tickets for two weeks in Spain. Thanks to TripAdvisor and a snowy last week-end with lots of football (go Bears!), we've built an itinerary. But everything is flexible. That is where YOU come in. Recommendations, experiences, from a photographic viewpoint are welcome! So, the current itinerary is:

Day 1 - 3 in Barcelona
Day 4 fly to Málaga and rent a car. Drive along the coast towards Torre del Mar ending in Granada. Stay 2 nights.
Day 6 we'll drive to Córdoba for the day. We'll leave there, drive to Seville for 4 nights. While we're in Seville we are thinking of taking a day trip to Jerez de la Frontera so Laurie can see the Royal Andalucían School of Equestrian Art.
Day 11 we'll train to Madrid. We'll be there 4 nights. We are trying to decide whether to day trip to Toledo, Ávila, neither or both.
Day 15 fly home tired but happy!

So my traveling friends, any suggestions? :D

Barcelona is such a nice place. If the weather permits, buy the 2 day tour pass and sit on the upper deck of the bus. Now windows and you get great viewpoints to take pics. I was there for only 2 days in october and just wish I was there longer.

It can be quite expensive in Spain... I don't know how the Dollar compares to the Euro but a small cup of rather indifferent coffee can cost €1.30 to €1.50... beer is probably cheaper! Have a great trip... My daughter lives in Ibiza... that's a great place (for some) - I am going there in April. Post some photos wont you??

Mark: I'd love some more information! As long as our flight to Málaga is on time (we're scheduled to land at 0830), we should have most of the day free to explore on our way to Granada.
