Balearic Islands. That would be my #1. Possibly #1 in Europe with someone romantic.
Take a quick flight from Barcelona, stay at least 2 days, rent car and drive the coast, stay in a little coastal town. Experience the Mediterranean like James Bond would.

I used to live in Andalucia and, in your shoes, would prefer to spend more time in Bilbao than Malaga. Nothing wrong with the old part of Malaga.. just that there's more in Bilbao.
Love that city. In fact, all of Bilabo - the coastal route between Bilbao and San Sebastian is beautiful - one of my favouyrite places in all Spain.

If you can, take a drive down past Gibraltar and Algeciras and have lunch near Tarifa somewhere, looking across the Straits to Africa, which looms large on the near horizon.
Not a lot by way of cultural excursions down there, but the scenery can be quite nice.
- Just 'if you can' - i'd hate for you to wend your way down there and be stumped by the lack of things to do.detritus

That sounds pretty good. On your way to Barcelona I'd make a stop at Montserrat to see the monastery.

2 days in each city specially Barcelona is like way too short.
But enjoy one of the best cities in the world.

If you're on a budget, I think museums are free on Mondays.
Also visit El Tigre. Here you can order a beer, and they will serve you tasty tapas for free. Read the reviews.

Leave your wife at home and go catfishing on Ebro.
