I'm going to be staying with family in Madrid for 4-5 weeks in May. It will be nice to see my relatives and to have free accomodations, but a whole month with my over protective family is not an option. They won't even let me eat out at night because the streets are too dangerous(!) So I'm trying to figure out the best way to see as much of Spain and Portugal as I can using Madrid as my base.
I'm thinking of making two 5-7 day trips (one to Portugal and the other to Andalucia) and two shorter 2-3 trips to Salamanca and Toledo. By splitting my time about evenly between travel and family hopefully I won't get tired of either.
How does that sound? My family will be pressuring me to not stay overnight in "strange" towns (especially in "seedy" hostels), but apart from bringing my mother or one of my aunts along as a chaperon *shudder*, I don't see any other practical way of visiting some of my destinations.
Thanks
