First Trip Ever to Spain/Barcelona
Words cannot describe how excited I am to be traveling to Barcelona for this experience and this show. I am certainly going to make the most of the trip and plan on getting into town a few days early/sticking around for a few more. Maybe France? Maybe Portugal afterwards? Haven't been to Europe in 12 years (Scotland). Any and all "must do" in southern Spain, tips for day trips, or adventures across a border are greatly appreciated.
See you in Spain

I have one wee advise for anyone wanting to do a little sight seeing in Europe: In many major cities there is such a thing as "free walking tours" where a local takes you around town, shows you a lot of amazing spots and tells you about the history and you just tip them in the end. I highly recommend these tours.
Southern Spain has must see places like:
1. The Alhambra: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra There is a parador within the walls of the Alhambra...after all the tourists leave at the end of the day, the place is yours...ridiculously awesome.
2. Malaga and Marbella: Seaside towns
3. Ronda: An unforgetable bridge spanning a gorge. A claim to having the first bullring in Spain.
4. Gibraltar: Atlas monkeys (the only remaining wild monkeys in Europe)..plus you get the super rare gibraltar coinage....
Up north you have to see the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao and stay in San Sebastian...great food and great beaches....
There are a lot of other places that are "must-sees" in Spain....time is your only enemy.
