Tips

To extend the trip, add an extra day in Barcelona for a day‑trip to Costa Brava, and consider a desert night in the Sahara desert from Marrakesh, which can be done by a short 2‑day excursion. If you need to reduce the duration, skip the day trip to Sintra and combine the Porto and Madrid stays into 4 days total, using a high‑speed train to cut travel time. Booking flights and accommodation early will secure the best rates, and using public transport or budget airlines for inter‑city travel will help stay within the INR 3.5 lakh budget.
