Luggage And Bags: Be realistic. Lugging large pieces around is not conducive to having a good time. I took one medium-sized piece of luggage with wheels and another small bag (that I took on the plane).
Make sure you have a change of clothes, your prescription drugs, toothbrush, toothpaste, cosmetics (women), and anything you could not live without.Then, if your luggage is lost, you won't be nearly as upset.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I took four slacks in four different colors (brown, black, tan, and navy), two-three sweaters, four tops, two pair of shoes plus the ones I wore. (one for dress up and one in case my shoes got wet)
I take the lightest-weight underwear possible (5 )
so they will dry overnight. The same is true of socks. A bathing suit if the weather is appropriate, two hats (protection from sun), and one dress or skirt and top (for nice occasions). We washed out our clothes about every three to four days. I have a clothes line with suction cups that goes in a shower or over a bathtub that works very well.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Take your prescription drugs in their original containers. That is imperative. Some people prefer to buy their toiletries when they arrive. I take mine because I have ones I insist on using.
Photo Equipment: As of now, I do not have a digital camera.[1999] I have a camera that takes 3 different sized photos. I have had it for over 15 years and love it. It's small, so either Allan or I carry it in a pocket. I also take plenty of film with me.
Miscellaneous: We took a very small Dictionary/Phrase Book called "How to Eat Out in Spain" by Ana Vazquez published by Gremese. You can order it or find it in any big book store. It saved us! ($6.95)
Includes: the basics, national dishes, regional dishes, drinks, directions

An excellent overview on Spain with superb general tips! You have certainly travelled widely in Spain. Seville, Madrid, Alicante and Costa Brava certainly look interesting for us to visit in the near future. ~ho & pang | misterrabbit Wed Apr 8, 2009 21:40 UTC
You hit a home Run here!Insightful. Hotels and restaurants are really excellent. Your hotels seem so nice. Expensive, I would assume. This must have been a trip of a lifetime. | jumpingnorman Tue Feb 10, 2009 18:21 UTC
Your Spain tips are awesome! Madrid is great and my hotel was right across Prado at the time, but I missed watching a Flamenco Dance (sigh)....maybe next time....thanks for sharing, Norman :) P.S. I also take pics of cats when I see them | hunterV Tue Dec 2, 2008 16:12 UTC
