The thinking behind this plan
Two days. Make them feel like another life.
A getaway starts with the time you really have, not the length of the long weekend. Take away the journey there and back, choose one base and one main visit per day. Whatever you leave for next time is a good decision too.
With just two days
Ronda, Cáceres or Cudillero let you focus the plan on one town and its immediate surroundings. Check the journey from your city.
With a third day
Llanes and Cadaqués breathe more if you add the coast or a booked visit without squeezing it in alongside the town walk.
If you need to fly
Count the airport and transfers as part of the trip. In Lanzarote, one area may make more sense than trying to cover the whole island.
