Alright I keep changing my itinerary but I think I got it now...
Fly into Madrid
Valencia
Granada
Cadiz
Seville
Salamanca
San Sebastian
Pamplona
Barcelona
Fly to Paris
Is this too much? I was looking into some of these cities and there isn't a whole lot to do...or is there? I don't know, I have only been to Madrid. Which of these should I take out and should I add others? Let me know...
Thanks
Bret

as i mentioned before, for Moorish-Spanish points of interest, Córdoba has a special place in my memories. the Mezquita, now a Roman Church, is especially impressive.
a very nice, smaller place in Southern Spain, Arcos de la Frontera. it was one of my favorites - the place we stayed (the local Parador) prolly contributed to the pleasure of our stay.
for people-watching, Marbella <Spain's Costa del Sol> seems to draw many of Europe's glitterati.

In 3-4 weeks this must be possible.
Only one thing: as Salamanca doesn't have a commercial airport, you have to cover a big distance between Sevilla and Salamanca. So if you want to go like this, it is back to Madrid first, and then the 2,5 hours on the train to Salamanca. If you want to do it like this, then you can include Cordoba very easy, as it is the only other stop of the AVE between Sevilla (Santa Justa) and Madrid (Atocha).
I think that I would rather make Cordoba as a daytrip from Sevilla. Take out Valencia, and replace it with a cheap flight to Lisbon (Vueling). From Lisbon you can fly back to Madrid (Vueling), to connect to Salamanca.
Or ... (this looks crazy on the map!, but time-wise it's pretty ok.) go Lisbon - Barcelona, and connect to San Sebastian and Pamplona From there you can either cross the border to Biarritz, and take the Easyjet flight to Paris from there. Or take a Clickair flight from Bilbao. (maybe take some time to visit Bilbao, for a few hours) to Paris.
But from a logistical point of view, I think (these last options would mean leaving out Salamanca, unless you spend a few days there at the beginning of you trip, and then backtrack to Madrid.

Hmm this sounds very intersting...the only thing is I am only 17 and my girlfriend will be 18, I mean I have been to Europe a couple of times so I have a good amount of knowledge about how it all works, but I dont want it to be TOO complicated cuz we will be alone. It shouldn't be right?
