Travel tips for Spain & France? My mom and I are planning a graduation trip (yay) for Spain and France on a budget. We're flying from Mexico, and though we plan on spending most of the trip visiting cities like Madrid and Barcelona, we'd also like to make a stop in Paris and maybe a few towns in between. It's going to be a 20 day trip, but we've never been to Europe before and have no clue as to how to get around there.Any tips to save money while still getting to know the area? Is it cheaper to travel by train or by plane? Also, any things we should definitely see or try while we're there?
