spain in august
 

im going to spain end of august for 1 week with my brother. we're landing in madrid and we want to meet good people, budget some money, and have a great time. i also want to visit ibiza and party it up there for at least 1 night.

anyone have any suggestions on good places to go in spain?

Just about anywhere in Spain during that time of year will be pretty festive.

Barcelona, Seville, San Sebastian, Valencia, Toledo, Segovia, Malaga, Marbella, Alicante, Salamanca, Granada, the list goes on...

Toledo and Segovia are about 30-45 minutes from Madrid so you can knock those out pretty quickly.

You better budget money for Ibiza because it's expensive-_-.

just a random question - I thought a lot of places in spain closed up shop for the whole month of august?

1 week doesn't give you much time to get around.

I'd recommend sticking to one or two places for this trip. You could easily spend a week in Barcelona. I liked Valencia as well but there are lots of great cities in Spain.

I personally fond Madrid to be extremely boring.

Valencia= my second favorite city in Europe!
Barcelona= beautiful
Madrid= awesome
Toledo= amazing sights

I agree with everyone else, if you have a week, limit yourself to one or two cities. Otherwise you'll be spending almost all your time traveling.

Barcelona - Tons of fun stuff to do. Lots of places to party, awesome architecture, the beach, etc. Walking up and down las ramblas is a lot of fun too.

Sevilla - There is a lot of stuff crammed into this city! It's on the smaller side, but you can easily find a lot of fun stuff to do.

Madrid - I didn't spend enough time here to really give you a run down. The advantage is that you're close to some cool daytrips like Tony mentioned.

Day trips would be fun to pass time and explore new things!
