Explore Spain 2024: Ultimate 10-Day Itinerary Guide May 12-21

Even if a person returns after a month, they should write a guide. Not much, but I will answer any questions [Praise R]

🧡 List of anti-theft items to prepare:
🔹 “8” shaped lock (for backpacks or crossbody bags)
🔹 Anti-theft waist pack/anti-theft leggings (for passports and important valuables)
🔹 Door stopper (for hotels)
🔹 Long steel wire combination lock (for trains)

🧡 10-day itinerary:
Day 1: Shanghai ✈️ Madrid
Day 2: Madrid
Day 3: Madrid 🚘 Cordoba
Day 4: Cordoba 🚘 Seville
Day 5: Seville 🚘 Granada
Day 6: Granada 🚘 Valencia
Day 7: Valencia 🚘 Barcelona

Tips: According to this itinerary, the pace is well-balanced. Cordoba and Valencia serve as rest stops on the travel loop. If you are tired, you can take a break and visit fewer attractions. If time permits, it is recommended to spend an extra day in Seville. This city is worth experiencing the unique leisure of the south in its old streets [Winking R]

💔 Tax Refund at Madrid T1:
They did not give me 💶. The reason they gave was that Global Exchange and Global Blue are two different companies, and GE also needs to make money [Embarrassed R]. I argued but didn’t win, so I gave up…

Overall, this trip went quite smoothly. I started praying before leaving, and not encountering thieves was our greatest blessing [Laughing R]. Always be vigilant, and never leave valuables in the car. The weather in mid-to-late May was really great, neither too cold nor too hot, with blue skies and white clouds, like admiring oil paintings outdoors. The flowers in the parks were in full bloom, and everything was just right 🌠
