How to use these itineraries
Each plan assumes you arrive at Madrid (Narita or Haneda) or Seville (Kansai) and uses public transport. Travel days are deliberately light. If you're short on time, cut a base rather than squeezing in more stops — changing hotels costs half a day each time. Use our Rail Pass value helper with your final route to decide whether a rail pass makes sense.
