Madrid

After getting your bearings by people watching on La Gran Via get yourself to the Rastro Flea Market – you’ll find over 3,500 stalls to keep you busy. If you’ve still got a few euros left head to Madrid’s main square the Puerta del Sol. You’ll find little trinket shops, big name brands and plenty of bars and restaurants serving tapas. If you’re here for the nightlife be warned that the party doesn’t get going until at least midnight and most locals won’t be finished until early morning. So make sure you pack your dancing shoes and book into a cheap hotel in Madrid.

Barcelona

You’ve got a tough choice between the Baceloneta Beach, Montjuic Mountain, the Gothic Quarter and La Ramblas in Barcelona, so make sure you’ve pencilled in plenty of time here. It’s a great city to visit if you’re on a budget as thanks to Antonio Gaudi many buildings are as beautiful on the outside as they are in. You’ll also have fun if you’re got money to burn though, there’s endless shopping down Passeig de Gracia and some great clubs around the Olympic Port. Barcelona cheap hotels are plentiful and necessary if you want to rest your weary body. Spend the next day soaking up the sun in Park Guell and you’ll be rewarded with incredible views over the city and more of Gaudi’s artistic flair!

Make sure you save some time to hang out in the Plaza de la Virgin too, the buildings, and the gelato, are amazing.

Granada

Top of your list of things to do in Granada should be the Alhambra. The grand Moorish fortress narrowly missed out on being crowned one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. You can also indulge in a soak in the hammam here too. Check out the caves of Nerja on the south coast and enjoy a tea and shisha at a tea shop. The close proximity to Morrocco means the area has been greatly influenced by the African country and you can see the Moorish impact in all the architecture.
