In Madrid: El parque del retiro; El museo del prado; La plaza mayor; El barrio de Salamanca; La Cibeles; La puerta de Alcala; La puerta del sol...

In Barcelona: Las Ramblas; El parque GĂĽell, La casa GaudĂ­, La Sagrada familia...

Good luck!!! :)

I would add to the previous reply - In Madrid: the Royal Palace. If you have extra time take a train to Segovia and Toledo. You will not be disappointed.

Travel to Spain Barcelona as it now has every leisure and sports facility possible since 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.For more information see http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/places/barcelona.htm. Madrid is the capital of Spain. The Real Palace of Madrid is the official residence of His Majesty the King of Spain, that is used in the ceremonies of State, although does not live there. For more information on Madrid see http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/places/madrid.htm

Here's an answer on Madrid I gave to someone else recently... I'll get back to you later on Barcelona (re-edit)...

Some of my husbands family live in Madrid, I've been there often...
There are so many things worth seeing you could stay for months and not visit everything...
If you like museums...You have
MUSEO DEL PRADO
MUSEO THYSSEN
MUSEO REINA SOFĂŤA (modern art)
All within walking distance of each other...

There is a smaller museum dedicated to the painter Sorolla
A Military museum and a Natural Sciences Museum, and another contemporary art museum.
Near the Prado (just next to it) you have the Botanical Gardens
And El Parque del Retiro, with its lake is just behind El Prado...
Then you have the Palacio Real and the Almudena Cathedral (where the crown prince was married 2 years ago)
The Plaza Mayor (if you go on a sunday morning there is a street market with philatelists and others collectors items), there are small restaurants all around the plaza and on the lower level on the streets surrounding, great places for typical spanish food...
On the Gran Via you have the chic shops, and at Callao there is a big department store called "El Corte Inglés", great for shopping. This is within walking distance to the City Hall building in La Puerta del Sol. And the little side streets in this area are interesting with lots of nice shops too.
If your spanish is good there are plenty of theaters with excellent shows.
Then there is the zoo, and you have a Warner Bros. Theme park just on the outskirts of the city.
(Watch your purse and mobile phone, there are a lot of eastern european immigrants that have decided that Madrid is a great place to earn a living by purse-snatching. It's not really dangerous, but be careful anyway...)
Then you have nearby towns worth seeing...There is a beautiful palace in Aranjuez, the palace of San Lorenzo del Escorial, the whole of Toledo is magnificent, Segovia with the aqueduct. And many more.
Enjoy your visit...Madrid is one of the loveliest cities in Europe!

The Prado museum in Mardrid is great to see. Barcelona is also a great city, I didnt see much when I was there, I did catch a bullfight there it was great.
