I'm hoping to make it to the Wild Weekend in Benidorm, Spain this year (Nov. 19-21)!

An my tiki exploration of Spain is WAY overdue! But, I need a little help in planning. I have plenty of info on the tiki bars (and amusement parks!) in Spain from Tiki Road Trip, the Locating Tiki Forum (thanks esp. to Tiki Chris), Trader Woody's web page on Spain (http://www.traderwoody.iwarp.com/spain.html), City in Space (http://www.city-in-space.com/), and Critiki. What I would like to know is:

Can I possibly see all the tiki of Spain in 2 weeks? Should I attempt it? I plan on flying into and out of the same city - Barcelona or Madrid. I want to take trains to get around. Can one get to all the locations easily by public transportation?

After reading City in Space, and since there's 3 tiki bars there, I really would like to spend plenty of time in Barcelona. So perhaps 5 days there, 3 in Benidorm, 4 in Madrid, and with days for traveling from place to place that would be 2 weeks. Is that too much in 2 weeks? Should I bother making the detours to Trader Vic's Marbella, to Waikiki in Palma Del Rio, and to Moana Beach in Bilbao?

I do want to spend some time sightseeing and relaxing a bit also.

Any tips on vintage modern hotels and good restaurants?
