Away we go to the eastern coast of Spain!
We last visited Spain in 2021. That was our first post-Covid trip, and we were excited to be back on the road again.
This trip will be our sixth time visiting Spain. On the last trip, we spent our time south of Madrid, extending to Granada. This time we will explore areas that are new to us, mainly, the Mediterranean coast centering around Valencia.
When we arrive in Madrid around 8:45 a.m. (2:45 a.m. Atlanta time) on Wednesday, April 17, we’ll head directly to the Chamartin train station to travel from Madrid to Cuenca. The travel time is just a little over 1 hour. We’re happy that we don’t have to rush to make a connecting flight and with a little luck, we’ll be in Cuenca by early afternoon.
We’ll spend 3 nights there to rest up from the trip and then head out. Here’s our plan:
- Cuenca – 3 nights
- Valencia – 5 nights
- Alicante – 4 nights (then pick up a rental car and travel to…)
- Denia – 4 nights
- Peniscola – 3 nights
- TBA – 4 nights
- Teruel – 2 nights (return rental car and train to Madrid)
- Madrid – 4 nights
It might be a little chilly at the beginning of the trip, but we’re looking forward to sunny skies, seafood and wine!
If you’d like to follow along, we’ll post some photos every few days – come back to the link to check in.
We’re looking forward to a relaxed time in Spain!
