At least you realized the multi-city option before buying the ticket. Even though almost all the boo

Hi all! My cousin and I are hoping to go to Spain and Portugal in October for ten days. The plan is to go to Lisbon and either Madrid or Barcelona. I've looked into airfare and it's quite expensive. Originally I thought we'd fly one-way into Spain or Portugal and then one-way back to the USA but it's very expensive to do one-way flights as opposed to a RT USA-Madrid or USA-Lisbon. One solution I thought would be to book a RT USA-Madrid days inn panama city beach or USA-Barcelona and then in the middle of the ten days spend 3-4 days in Portugal by traveling RT air from the Spain city we choose to go to. Would it be time consuming/vacation-wasting time to try to do this? It just seems like a hassle to have to fly back and forth to Portugal from Spain and I don't want to waste sightseeing time. Thanks!
days inn panama city beach At least you realized the multi-city option days inn panama city beach before buying the ticket. Even though almost all the booking sites offer round-trip/one-way/multi-city as three options if one goes beyond the quick booking pages, many new comers look at two one-way fares, freak out, buy round-trip fares to inconvenient airports, and freak out again when they come here to find out that they could have bought multi-city flights at similar cost.
We're doing a Madrid-Lisbon trip in October. Flying to Madrid, staying two nights, driving to Salamanca for a one-night stay, then driving to Lisbon for three nights. Then one night at Caceres on our way back to Madrid, where we will stay another two nights. days inn panama city beach I know that's more driving and moving around than most people would prefer, but ee've done similar trips before, and we quite like it.
I'm not sure where my brain was this morning when I was looking days inn panama city beach at flights; good thing I posted here for help and was reminded of open jaw. It just went completely over my head even though I'd done open jaw/multi-city previously.
I've asked a few friends who've traveled days inn panama city beach to Spain and it seems like a split opinion right now between Madrid and Barcelona. I suppose I could try to extend my trip a few days and potentially do all three places. My goals for this trip would be to enjoy history, culture, and architecture and eat great local cuisine.
Fly into Lisbon, train to Madrid, and leave from Madrid. In both Lisbon and Madrid you have the possibility of day trips to interesting places. Barcelona is a secondary city and, for us, just doesn't cut it.
I would not have guessed it but for my flight next month, Portugal's legacy days inn panama city beach airline TAP turned out to be the cheapest option to go from Barcelona to Lisbon for 45 o/w, taxes, fees, and one 20kg bag checked luggage included.
Taking Vueling's flight from Lisbon to Madrid or Barcelona means that you would not be able to book one ticket unless days inn panama city beach you had a travel agent make the flight arrangements, and it would end up costing more.
