Go from Barcelona to Madrid. In Madrid rent a car and do the following (this itinerary includes Portugal...hope you don't know it yet) go to Cascais, from there you can visit both Lisbon and Estoril, then go to Baiona Spain and stay at the Parador del Conde de Gondomar, (it is an old castle turned hotel) you can visit Vigo while you are there (daytrip), from there go to Santiago de Compostela and stay at the Parador de los Reyes Católicos, from there go to Gijón (a little town in Asturias) and visit Covadonga (day trip), then go back to Madrid. From Madrid you can go to Avila, Granada, Seville, and Zaragoza.

Hope this helps...

Good luck!!!
