Choose a connected route

Confirm tickets, actual transport and opening before adopting the sequence. Madrid’s regional outings, an Andalusian route and a Mediterranean route need different base choices; no example needs every published locality.

For Mallorca or a Canary island stay, use the relevant local guides as an alternative focus and account for the actual flight or ferry day. Do not squeeze an island outing into an unused gap on a mainland train circuit.
