Is 1 week in Spain enough for me?
If you only have 1 week in Spain, and you’re interested in the history, architecture and nightlife of the big cities, as well as getting a taste of the Islamic influence in the south, then this itinerary is for you.
Though 1 week in Spain is not enough time to take in all the aspects of this diverse country, the high-speed trains you’ll have access to with your Eurail Pass will make it an achievable and enjoyable journey.
