Robin and I traveled to Spain to attend our friends Dimitris and Delfina's wedding in Valcenia. So we added a week ahead of and a week after the wedding and visited Spain's largest three cities: Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona.
We flew into Madrid, spent three days there, then took the train to Valencia, spent six days there, then another train to Barcelona for three days and finally back by one last train to Madrid.
