Good luck getting there. I just rerouted sister thru MAD (they're going to Basque region). Valencia starts next wk, tho. She'll rent car so I can get some info on that. Not sure if she'll make it ot BCN now. We had several dates and tons of HK's and active emps. Cruises still running Oct but maybe not so many nonrevs? I would get on tripadvisor and poke around for details, keeping in mind lots of Brits in there are not travelers they are vacationers--they go to Southern SPain for 2-4 wks cause it's warrm, sunny and cheap. (condo types) Not dissing but it's true so weigh some of the advice in that respect.
