Yes several times. Do you speak any Spanish?
Get out into the countryside and smaller cities. Gringo Bling mentions some of the bad of the major cities. Lol, of course I don't speak Spanish....... the wife can get by though. Talk to me about Barcelona and anything on the outskirts. That's where we will spend the majority of our time. I enjoy architecture, so any must see places? Just curious. I speak Spanish and Portuguese. It helps in the smaller towns. But they speak Catalan in the Barcelona Catalonia region. Couple of things for Barcelona: - La Sagrada Familia - Casa Batlló - Las Ramblas - La Boqueria Market (find the little restaurant that has razor clams and have some) - Make dinner reservations now, https://www.canmajo.es/ca/- Barcelona Maritime Museum TurkeyHunter is spot on here. In Barcelona I suggest trying to get reservations at El Asador de Aranda and indulge in some roasted suckling pig. Drinking a good Spanish wine and eating tapas with a view of the Mediterranean does not suck. Enjoy the trip  Perfect, thanks for the info appreciate the info . Food and wine will make my wife happy.

That looks good! I'm no help. Only been in the airport in Madrid and wasn't a fan of it.

Multiple times.
Barcelona is a vibrant amazing city. We have never felt unsafe and it’s a clean city.
Spain in general is clean, modern, and fun. My personal favorite city is Madrid.

Suckling pig as mentioned by dk is a must have! If in Madrid go here for it. Oldest restaurant in the world. https://botin.es/Makes me hungry thinking about it. Be sure to make a reservation.
To be determined

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

TurkeyHunter and I sure have traveled similar circles. You definitely don’t eat there without a reservation weeks in advance. And if I remember correctly you have to preorder your meal. Was the only mutton I’ve ever really liked. They have a tour you can book as well that’s pretty interesting.
