As far as Spain goes, I'd check out the southern coast. It's beautiful & there are a lot of really cool things to see. I'd skip Gibraltar...it's a tourist trap where everything costs way more money and the currency switches to GBP (pounds). Some cities in Southern Spain I'd recommend:
Granada
Mijas
Sevilla
Marbella
If you have an extra day or two, you can also take a ferry from a few different points on Southern Spain (I find Tarifa is the best departure point) and hit Morocco for a day trip or two. It's only a 30 minute ferry ride over (a little longer for the slower/cheaper ferries) and really cool to do.

Edit: if you're into golfing, souther Spain would be right up your alley too. Costa del Sol has been coined Costa del Golf and has some terrific courses.
