How to Plan a 14-Day Spain Itinerary 2025

Written by Cynthia Li Updated May. 6, 2024

With a 2-week stay in Spain, you could not only explore the popular attractions but also some hidden gems that many tourists overlook. We suggest allocating your time to Barcelona, Madrid (including the surrounding areas), Granada or Valencia, and Seville to immerse yourself in the local culture and sites beyond the typical tourist spots.

Additionally, you could consider adding an island getaway, such as Menorca. It's just a 1-hour flight from Barcelona. However, if you opt to go to the island of Tenerife for more adventures, it's a 2½-hour flight from Seville.

For those seeking a romantic transnational journey, consider starting with exploring Italy before taking a 2–3-hour flight to Spain.
