Hello, I am going to Spain in the end of August.
Who could help me with itinerary, which cities are the best to visit?
(i will be there for 2 weeks) which souvenirs should I buy? what travel insurance would you advise?
Is it better and cheaper to travel by train or by plain?
Thank you all!

What sort of insurance do you want for your trip?

This is the insurance board.

I guess I need an insurance for a single trip. Nothing special and also I would like to cover my camera as well.

What insurance did the travel agent offer you? Why did you not buy that policy?

What are your interests?

Having booked 6 months in advance I travelled to Majorca by plane last year twice having booked through www.skyscanner.com , and whilst I was over I hoped on a ferry to Denia and Ibiza http://www.ferrysavers.co.uk/majorca.htm and the prices were really good!Hoenstly, dont leave this for the last minute because the prices are demand driven. For insurance I can only suggest the one I used once called 'MontialAssistance' or something, they where good!I didnt have any problems mind you. They sent me insurance documents straight away, but as I said, as I didnt make any claims I cant really speak of deep experiance.
I brought ciggarettes (which are a lot cheaper over there),lots of Spanish wine (which is cheap and tasty) and a little snow globe with a lizard in it (not a real one lol) but is the symbol of Majorca and is cute. We stayed in the Belle Vue and had an amazing time.
Definately going back to Majorca next year!

If English is not your first language, there are plenty of online tourist guides in your native language. For just a 2 week holiday, I would advise just sticking to a few regions. Fly to a destination, hire a car if you can or if not, the Spanish train services are cheap and reliable.

At this time of year, it is really hot, with temperatures during the middle of the day hitting 40C. Would not advise you venturing on long walks, without a large hat, plenty of suncream and litres of water.

The Valencia region is worth a visit and the famous Tomatina festival takes place in nearby Bunol on the last Wednesday in August.
