For a first trip to Spain, I’d definitely recommend combining major cities with smaller towns. Madrid and Barcelona are amazing for art, nightlife, and iconic sights, but towns like Salamanca and Ronda offer a completely different, more relaxed vibe. Salamanca, with its historic university and Plaza Mayor, is a gem, and Ronda’s stunning cliffside views are unforgettable. Traveling by train is convenient and comfortable, thanks to Spain’s efficient rail network. High-speed trains like AVE can take you quickly between major cities, while regional trains or buses can get you to smaller towns. For a detailed guide on planning routes and finding hidden gems, Travel Spain is an excellent resource. It offers practical tips on transportation, accommodations, and must-see spots for both city lovers and small-town explorers.

Spain is such a versatile destination with something for everyone! On my last trip, I loved how easy it was to blend bustling cities like Madrid with peaceful retreats in towns like Segovia. The food scene is incredible—paella, jamón ibérico, and all the tapas you can imagine. Plus, the history and architecture are breathtaking, from Gothic cathedrals to Roman aqueducts. I’m already planning my next trip and thinking about exploring northern Spain. Any recommendations for that region?
