Spanish Travel Agencies Spain

I want to Travel Spain, any help would be awesome.?

I’m going back to high school for an extra semester, and will therefore have about three to six months before I hit the books in University. I love to travel, and I love History so I somehow stumbled across the idea of going to Spain. Before I say anything else, keep in mind that I know some Spanish, but not a lot, and I want to see all the hot spots.
I know I’m going to Valencia and Barcelona, but that’s it. So- here are my question(s). What cities do you think I should hit? What specific things/landmarks do you think I should see? Do you know any good hotels or travel agencies that have any sort of low priced or good tours in the cities etc. I’m looking to do it in the most least possible amount of money, but price isn’t as important as what I will get to see. Thanks for anyone’s help and I hope to hear from you soon.

oh give me a break, other commentators. futbol is big in barcelona, but if youre going there, your priority should be the other things the city has to offer. make sure you have 5+ days atleast. i dont know what part of the year youre going in, but spain can get pretty cold, actually, really cold through march. so dont go to any beach cities during that time if you can help it. if youre into hostels, that would be the best priced option. if youre going to spend around a week or more, you can rent apartments online for cheaper than hotels. its not obligatory to know spanish when traveling through spain, whats necessary is willingness to ask for help/directions rather than waste an afternoon with no idea where you are. also, openness to other cultures/ways of life. people smoke in bars in spain, personal space is almost non existent, people start drinking at 10 in the morning, but they DO NOT get drunk etc… i lived in barcelona for quite a while so i can offer suggestions about things to see/do. a travelled throughout spain/ morocco as well, and i will mention that later. also, im a 20 something college student.
Barcelona
-go to jazz si, its a local’s bar that has open mic night on tuesdays and a very intimate flamenco show on fridays. you can find it on the internet, and its very close to a metro stop (san antoni)
-take pictures/visit la boqueria market. its located right off of ramblas but is kind of unassuming if you didnt know to go there. the food spreads are amazing. i cant explain it
-obviously youre young, so you will want to go to puerto olimpic for nightlife, any night of the week bars are hopping and you can hop from spot to spot depending on ur style
-also, try chupitos, or el gato negro, two shot bars that have a young and lively college crowd
-you absolutely must go to parc guell, pack a lunch and explore. spend time sitting in gaudi’s benches and admiring the architecture
-la sagrada familia is not worth the money, the pictures from outside are adequate (trust me, i lived around the corner and if you get back far enough and take a pic, its all you need)
-my absolute FAVORITE place in the world is plaça del rei, located behind the cathedral in the courtyard of the palace of aragon. at night people sit on the steps and drink beers and wine, many bring instruments and if you sit on the steps with a 6 pack of voll dam (7% alcohol tasty beer) it is better than any bar in the city. you feel like your in the 16th century.
-during the day, in the same plaza, there is a city history museum that shows the roman ruins beneath the streets of the city. pretty f’n cool.
-have a coffee at cafe zurich (plaça catalunya)
-shop at sfera and h&m
-see the fountains and light show at the monjuic palace. the same palace has the largest romanesque art collection outside of italy, so if ur into that, check it out
-oh, definitely spend as much time as you can at the beach, bring some beers and settle in, take off some clothes, watch people who have taken their clothes off, it has sand which is uncommon along the Mediterranean…great scene
-not far from barceloneta beach is parc da la ciutadella which has THE MOST beautiful fountain. nearby is barcelona’s own arc de triomf.
-DEFINITELY go see the picasso museum. hes from the area so the best collection is housed in a historic building in the gothic quarter. truthfully, i wasnt into him at all but when i went to the museum and watch the progression of his talent and themes, i was enamored.
-salvador dali lived north of the city, so visiting his museum is an option too, its pretty crazy
-the only gaudi building that is worth paying to get inside is la pedrera (the roof top chimneys are awesome and so is the view) dont pay the 15$ to get into any other ones.
-dont visit the aquarium or buy the barcelona card. your money is best spent sitting at a cafe/restaurant and watching the world pass by. as long as you venture away from la ramba, tapas and food are very reasonable. i remember sitting for hours outside at a bar in front of santa maria del mar. beautiful.
-but do walk down rambla (many many times), get a painting, it was the best souvenir i could have chosen, or have someone make a portrait of you
-metro is awesome, buy a 10 trip pass and ur golden.
-check out a bullfight, theyre pretty cool, culturally speaking
-OHHH, if you have time you can catch a train to monserrat which offers beautiful views/hikes and is an important place for spaniards
-if youre there in the spring hit sitges up for carnaval, and sevilla up for semana santa. if you make plans ahead of time, both will be unbelievable experiences. go to sevilla even if its not semana santa, the moorish influence is still alive and everywhere. if you go to granada just to see the alhambra, dont waste ur money, its not worth the trip if thats the only thing.
-duh madrid, if youre into history make sure you go to toledo, not far from madrid and is historic capital
-if you have any amount o
