Everyone has different definitions of adventure, fun, it's all about what you enjoy. Arguing about what makes for a 'best' vacation will never reach conclusion, since everyone has different opinions, ideas.
I do agree about not trying to do 'too much' in such a short time frame. One rookie mistake that we made in our travels was trying to do anything and everything. You end up spending all of your time on planes, trains and automobiles instead of taking it all in.
For us, the tentative plan is first night on the island, catch the ferry the next morning to Barcelona. Cooking class / sights of Barcelona / hopefully a Barcelona FC match (if the schedule gods are kind) / tapas & drinks with friends.
It would be nice to have time for a day trip somewhere, or maybe even catch the high speed train to Madrid (3 hours) for an overnighter, but again, that might be the 'too much' side rearing it's ugly head again.
End of the week, we'll catch a cheap morning/afternoon flight back to the island. Our flight departs that evening. And then we've got 12 hours in Madrid for one final hurrah.
For me, the greatest part about this trip will be having all of my close friends gathered in a foreign country at the same time, which might never happen again.
