If you were planning a week in Spain to be split between Madrid and Barcelona, how would you divide your time? And what is it that you would want to see in each area?

We did this. Divide equally. Be sure to see the Prado in Madrid if you're into art, so you can compare "Las Meninas" (the dwarves) there with Picasso's version at the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. Be careful of theft in Barcelona; DH had his front pocket picked on the Metro and later some icky substance dropped down on us from a balcony and a helpful man rushed up immediately to "help". We sent him away. (DH noticed he left in the direction from which he'd approached us. The substance dried easily and we were able to scrape it off. See all of Gaudi's architecture, especially the park around his former home.

I'm thinking we may stay longer in Barcelona. I would probably like to split it more equally, but the SO is not a museum or art person, and is all about beaches and food. So maybe we should do a day trip to the Costa Brava. Or even over to Palma de Mallorca.

I enjoyed the Prado and the Royal Palace in Madrid. Sorry, I haven't been to Barcelona so no opinion on that.
