Hey everyone,

I’m planning a 14-day solo trip through Spain and Portugal and wanted to sanity-check my itinerary with people who’ve done similar routes.

I’m a fairly fast-paced and somewhat experienced traveler, so I don’t mind moving often, walking a lot, and packing days. That said, I’m also trying to avoid the classic mistake of spending more time traveling than actually enjoying the cities.

Here’s my current plan:

• Porto → 2 days
• Lisbon → 2 days (+ 1 day trip to Sintra)
• Granada → 1 day (mainly for the Alhambra)
• Seville → 1 day (including a stop in Córdoba on the way)
• Madrid → 2 days
• Barcelona → 3 days

I already know this will be rushed, but I’m trying to figure out if it’s still worth it to go to each place for a such a short period.

My main concerns:

• Not enogh time in Seville
• Am I spending too much time in transit vs. actually experiencing things?
• If you had to cut something, what would you remove or extend?

If you’ve done a similar route, I’d really appreciate your opinion—especially from people who’ve done fast-paced itineraries vs slower travel.

Thanks in advance 🙏
