I've never traveled to Europe and will be traveling to Spain for 12 days with my partner and several friends. Can anyone help with our itinerary? Is it feasible time-wise? Are there bus lines from each point to another? Any tips on sights to see? Thanks!

Because you only let them see trains.
Cut half your itenn and enjoy Europe. Have time to learn something!
Travel groups only talk to each other. Can't learn zip that way.
My suggestion is wait till you at least know WHY to go to Europe.
Your interests should corral your route.
The capitols, border towns and seaports and most tourested places, are the most pickpocket/snatcher riden. Street sense is a must.
My www.ricksteves.com money belt has saved all, including passport. 3 times that I know of...
They don't use guns, at least in Spain. They use stealth. The robber hands off the stuff of yours, to his henchman. That guy dissapears into the croed. So nothing can be retreived or proven.
There's a how to traveling.
Don't pool your money. The biggest partier wins.
The late riser waists everybody's day.
And you won't have much time to do boots on the ground touring.
Another reason for not following a list. (sprawled out itenerary.)

What do you want to gain from your trip?Your interests should corral your route.

Solo travel is absolutely best. No indecision to banter back and forth. No arguments or people not pulling their weight.Don't pool your money. The biggest partier wins.
The late riser waists everybody's day.
And you won't have much time to do boots on the ground touring.
