[quote=Anonymous]Great visit!  We've done the MAD-SS-Barca trip several times.

Assuming it's your first time in Barcelona, I recommend:

- Parque Guell
- Sagrada familia
- Montjuic
- La Pedrera/Casa Batllo
- Boqueria market

I would then just stroll gothic quarter, Born, raval neighborhoods.

I would avoid Ramblas if at all possible.  Barcelona is a city of 3-4 days so you might get bored at the 5th day.  If you are game to try something different, rent a car and head out to La Costa Brava (about a 45 min drive) and cehck out the little beach towns.  Really nice for a day trip.

San Sebastian:

La Concha beach is great
Mt Urgull hike
Monte Igueldo funicular
Old town for pinxtos

The one thing I'll stress about SS is that it's a foodie's paradise.  Please seek out the Txuleta (beef cut - similar to rib eye).  Bar Nestor has an excellent one but it's been a few years.  The food is outstanding and it's just great to stroll from bar to bar eating pixtos (note, it is a much better food experience than your typical tapas bar).

Also, SS is small so if you want to venture out, I recommend a day trip to Biarritz.  It's a 45 mins drive.

Good luck - I love SS.
