Have you been to Spain?
 
We want to visit Spain in 2023 as its our 25th wedding anniversary. When is the best time to go? Has anyone booked with Insight Vacations? Since there aren't any direct flights from here, any suggestions on best flights to consider. Should we fly into JFK, stay overnight and then fly out next day?
Any advice you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

There are direct flights out of Miami.
I would go anytime out of European holiday season.
Very popular destination for the rest of Europe, and some of the coastal resorts are not for the faint hearts, if you are not keen on youth, bars, noise and drunks!
Very hot in summer.
Lot of history, and wonderful old buildings.
Wife and I usually drive down from UK ( we live there) when we visit, and go in late spring, and take pot luck on hotels.
Food is good.

I’ve been three times - always in either March or April - perfect weather - there are so many sub-regions within Spain, each with its own culture/food/customs - Spanish people are friendly and social - just had to adapt to eating dinner VERY LATE - but love the tapas scene prior to dinner.

Well, I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it, mhm

Damn, beat me to it. Now I must delete. Did you know Kenny Rogers was in a sixties psychodelic band?

I can remember the First Edition but can't remember their song that got a lot of radio play.

OP: We went to Spain in March on our own. Weather was great. We went to Granada first and then took the train to Sevilla. We are returning in 2023 to spend 10 days in Madrid and Barcelona with a “Road Scholar” tour group. This will be our 4th trip with Road Scholar. I do not know anything about the tour group you mentioned. I am sure you will enjoy Spain, however you do it.

That would be "The First Edition"...

But "I've Never Been to Spain" was recorded by "3 Dog Night"...

Well, at least four replies offered a little information about Spain, the other 9 are from The Obscure Music Appreciation Society!
Not a bad average for TOTV
