EmilyStyle is Going to Spain!

It’s early in the planning stages, but it looks like Rob and I will be in Europe for five weeks this summer! He has a business meeting in Barcelona in mid-May and another in Geneva in mid-June – so we’re hoping to stay “on the continent” for the four weeks in between and maybe dash over to Morocco for a bit.

We’ll be traveling EmilyStyle again – as we did in Turkey, Greece and Croatia last year – with small carryon bags, airbnb apartments, working remotely via wifi and staying at least a week in each city.

As always, I would love your recommendations on the best things to see and do in Spain, Morocco and Switzerland! (Barcelona poster by the talented Peter Emmerich)

Fuuun!!! I spent 2.5 weeks in Spain during my honeymoon. Loved it. Sevilla, Granada, and Barcelona were my favorite places- and we were also in Madrid, Cordoba, Alicante, and Valencia.

The Chic and Basic hotel in Barcelona was wonderful. Very close to the Born area which is a great area full of shops, restaurants, and bars. The Sagrada Familia is a must see, as is the Mercado de la Boquerie.

Alicante was a really lovely beach side town in April, but I think it gets crowded and cheesy when it gets warm.

Sevilla and Granada were gorgeous and the Moorish influence is really cool. The Alhambra in Granada is a must see and you have to book tickets months in advance. Don't skip the gardens.

Thanks for the pro-tip about Alhambra tickets!

Madrid is my favorite city in the world. So many great restaurants and museums and the wide boulevards – I love exploring its wonders. San Sebastian is a beautiful city on the beach up on the northern coast. I echo what Shelly said about Barcelona and Sevilla – beautiful cities as well. Cordoba and Salamanca and Toledo and Cuenca and Segovia all have their delights for the eyes, the stomach, and the spirit as well. Spain has so much to offer, so much to enjoy. But it will be hot in the summer from Madrid towards the southern coast. Very hot. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
