Help! I wish I had seen this before going to Spain!

10 days packed with the excitement of 20, a nanny-level guide is here! 🌟
💡 This is how you should explore Spain!
Just got back and already regret... regret not seeing this guide earlier! A super detailed Spain itinerary compiled after staying up late, even those who get lost easily can follow it with ease!
🌈 【Must-visit Cities + Highlights】
Barcelona — Gaudí’s Fantasy World
✅ Sagrada Família: Buy tickets in advance! At 3 PM, sunlight streams through the stained glass, breathtakingly beautiful!
✅ Casa Batlló: Like stepping into an underwater dragon palace, the rooftop is perfect for photos!
✅ Casa Milà: Alien-like chimneys, the rooftop is even more photogenic at sunset!
🎯 Hidden gem: Hospital de Sant Pau (pink domes that will melt your heart!)
Madrid — A Clash of Art and Royalty
✅ Prado Museum: Free on Friday nights! Don’t miss "Las Meninas"!
✅ Royal Palace of Madrid: The changing of the guard ceremony is spectacular (Wednesdays & Saturdays)!
✅ Puerta del Sol: Find the "Bear and the Strawberry Tree" statue for a photo op
Andalusia — Exotic Southern Europe Vibes
🌹 Seville:
Climb the Giralda Tower at the Cathedral: No elevator! 34 floors but totally worth it!
Plaza de España: Row a boat + watch flamenco, stunning at dusk!
🌴 Granada:
Alhambra Palace: Book tickets 3 months in advance! The Nasrid Palaces tour lasts 30 minutes!
Albaicín District: Find a tea house to sip mint tea while gazing at the Alhambra
🕌 Córdoba:
Mosque-Cathedral: Go at 8 AM, take photos freely in the empty red and white arches!
Calleja de las Flores: Stunning during the May Courtyard Festival, always artsy
⏳ 【Classic 10-Day Itinerary】
Day 1-3 Barcelona: Gaudí’s big three + La Rambla + Boqueria Market
Day 4-5 Madrid: Royal Palace + Museums + Toledo day trip
Day 6-8 Seville: Cathedral + Royal Alcázar + Flamenco show
Day 9-10 Granada: Alhambra Palace + Albaicín District
🚗 【Transportation Tips】
✔️ Take the AVE high-speed train between cities (discounts if booked early)
✔️ Rent a car in Andalusia (Toledo → Córdoba → Seville is a smooth route)
✔️ Buy a 10-ride transport card for city travel, super cost-effective
💰 【Money-Saving Tips】
Buy combo tickets for attractions (Barcelona Gaudí buildings pass saves 20%)
Many museums have free entry times (Prado Museum is free 2 hours before closing)
⚠️ 【Hard Lessons Learned】
❌ No advance tickets for Alhambra = wasted trip!
❌ Don’t go out from 12 to 2 PM! Spaniards take siestas and shops close!
❌ Don’t eat paella in tourist spots! Find restaurants popular with locals
