I went on this trip with Shard. We booked the trip on our own using Travelocity. We used the Rick Steves' 2007 Spain book. I highly recommend the Rick Steve's book! It helped us tremendously when we were planning on what we wanted to do every day. The maps inside the book were also a big help when trying to navigate Madrid and Barcelona.
