I’ve never been to Mallorca but Seville is another amazing place that I would highly recommend, Valencia also gets high marks from me. Not sure that you’d even consider it given the tight timeframe, but Lisbon, Portugal is, IMO, the only city in the region that challenges (but still loses) Barcelona in terms of things to see and do as well as great food and nightlife.
Amsterdam is Amsterdam, smoke some dope (green text..?), wander around the amazing city, see some awesome museums and eat some of their amazing food. One of the best museums (IMO, Van Gogh is the best) isn’t listed above though, and that is the Rijks Museum. Tons of great art, more Rembrandt then I have ever seen in one place.

Yah we've heard to stay away from Madrid as well. Right not we are thinking of spending most of out time travelling SW along the coast probably no future than Malaga and every so often if there is something worth seeing we will make our way a in land.
The train system in Spain doesnt seem as good as Germany or Italy so we arent sure what method of travel to use. We would like to rent a car but I dont want it to cause more headaches than its worth.
