I've been to most cities in northern Spain. My favorite place by a long shot was Barcelona. It is a far more interesting city than Madrid, in my experience. August is generally a very cheap time to travel to European cities (except near the beach) because a ton of Europeans are on vacation. You wouldn't believe how deserted the cities can be. Hotels usually have really low occupancies, so you're apt to get good rates.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
