I’m flying to Valencia and out from Madrid over 6 nights towards the end of May this year. How would you recommend splitting the week over the two cities? Is 3 nights each the best itinerary? I suppose adding a third city would be too much. I’m planning to get to Madrid by train, so I’m wondering if there’s anywhere worth stopping over on the way there.
For more context: I can fly into Spain readily to revisit (probably Barcelona in the future). First-timer in Spain but decently experienced with Europe, keeping within a budget - preferably under €600 excluding flights. Main goals this trip are to take good walks and eat good food.
Would appreciate any other recommendations in these cities.
