We are thinking of doing a 3 week trip to Spain in late September/ Early October in another year.
Heres my initial thoughts:
Fly into Barcelona spend 3 nights train to Madrid spend 2 nights , train to Malaga rent car ... then check in at Marriott Marbella for a week doing. While there take a one night overnight to Granada to see Alhambra during the week,
and probably another 2-3 days of day trip touring.
At end of week one at Marbella , drive to Seville for an overnight then check in at Marriott's Playa Andaluza for a second week.
Any thoughts ?
My biggest questions are is area too similar at the two Marriott resorts I have chosen, and what other side day trips are must do from each of the Marriotts ? Is it still pool weather in late September ?
If I should drop a week which location would you drop? And which would you add? Club Son Antem or a portugal week? We were thinking to do Portugal as a whole other trip another year.
Should we do Seville as a day trip and do Morocco as the overnight between stays ?
Background , A couple traveling late 50s, energetic and pretty adventurous.I did really hope to use up some of my Marriott time and they seem very highly rated . First time visiting Spain but did a 3 Week trip covering Tuscany and Umbria last year by car the whole way. Had days where we would drive up to 2 hours away for a day trip, and used two towns as a week long base with agritourismo type stays thrown in for good measure.
Ideas, suggestions and opinions welcomed!
