Having been to Spain, I can honestly say that I found it a 
complete waste of time. Of all the cities I was in, Madrid
was least worthwhile. Barcelona is a whole lot nicer. And
San Diego is a whole lot nicer than either of those, which
is why I went there during the semester break instead. 

If you want to go to Europe, and are not particularly hung up
about Spain, I would recommend Lugano,Switzerland and Monte Carlo,
Monaco, both of which I found to be worth the trip. Unfortunately,
the same cannot be said for Madrid.
