Spain Honeymoon!

I think the Basque region is more romantic. I studied abroad in Valencia (3hrs south of Barcelona) and while fantastic and loads of fun, that coast of Spain tends to be the "Jersey Shore" of Europe. I think you'll get more culture and scenery in the Basque region. The Costa Brava beaches are nothing to write home about. That said, you'll have a great time with either itinerary

Although I haven't been to either the Costa Brava region or the Basque region, so I can't really help with answering your question, I've been to Barcelona twice (we actually got engaged there!) and it's an amazing city! Lots of cool and romantic sights! I'm sure it will be a great honeymoon and wish you the best!

Costa Brava will be packed with sunburned Brits. Basque country is much more romantic. Or if you have a car and want a beach day, hop over the border to S France! Collioure is a French family holiday destination, so not too touristy, but great views.

I love love love Barcelona! Parc Guell is magical just before sunset, and the Barri Gothic is soooo charming. Just hang onto your purse and don't flash money around or stop for street artists. The street thieves there are total pros.

You need to see the la familia church while

In Barcelona.

I went to the costa del mar while in Barcelona and it was fun but busy!

I've been to Barcelona and Andulucia (it's the southern region of Spain). I'm sure that you will enjoy Barcelona anyway!!! A second Kelsey, La Familia is a must-see.

THANKS ALL for the advice! It sounds like Barcelona and the Basque region would be the way to go. I'm getting more and more excited for this trip!! Thanks again and best of luck with wedding stuff everyone!

Following! We're headed to Spain too - a couple of days in Madrid, short jaunt down to the south then finishing up in Barcelona. I can't wait!

I studied abroad in Barcelona and loved it! Check out the local cava bars--there is one close to the beach that is fantastic! Parc Guell, Monteserrat, La Sagrada Familia are all beautiful sights. the Barrio Gotica is a wonderful area-beautiful church there I would walk to all the time!

There is quite the bar scene if you both are interested in that as well!

Courtney- did you end up going to Basque and how was it? We’re thinking of going there too !

We are going to Spain. Starting in Madrid, Seville, day trip to Tangier’s, Ronda, Barcelona. The train is cheap way to get around and fast. There is also Ryan air which is cheap and quick way to get across the country.
