I don't know where you went or what you was smoking at the time 6793026 that gave you the idea that Valencia a "small town" when in fact it's the 3rd largest city in Spain with over a million people and a metro system, etc. Maybe small compared to HK/China cities but the OP is from Vancouver.

Madrid: Go to all the Plazas - sit eat tapas and drink drink drink, nightlife - people are out to "6 in da mornin'" as a matter of principle. If you're into art you must see these: Prado Museum (free after 6 I believe), Sofia Reina, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Guernica painting). Paddle along in Buen Retiro Park. Day trips to Segovia (massive Roman Aqueduct) and Toledo (Holy Toledo!)

San Sebastian - Haven't been personally but it's a famous for Basque Tapas (Pintxos) - which are served on little pieces of bread. The beach is supposed to be nice too.

Barcelona - Gaudi stuff - Sagrada Familia, Parq Guell, Casa Mila, Casa Batillo. Go to Barcelonetta Beach, Las Ramblas (WATCH FOR PICKPOCKETS EVERYWHERE THO)

Valencia - City of Arts and Sciences (don't have to visit each one, but the mod architecture is amazing), Cathedral, Town Hall, the beach is also very nice there too. EAT PALLEA VALENCIANA here as it's the home of it. Overall smaller and less hectic than Barcelona and Madrid, but it's still a City with all the amenities you would expect.

Granada - It's all about the Alhambra here. Book an advanced ticket and go visit early in the morning. There's also a very nice riverside stroll and it's the home of Flamenco/Roma culture. Tapas Bars/Restaurants there also have a tradition here where they give you one free Tapas if you order a drink.
