I am planning to vacation in Spain for three weeks. I was just wondering, can you guys give some suggestions on what to see there?

Spain is rather large, it would help to know which part you will be visiting?Ive never been there myself but other members may have and more information will help them to advise you.0

As Poppy said it is a large place.
However one thing I can suggest which I think is relevant pretty much regardless of whereabouts you are going in the country...
Assuming you are staying in one of the popular areas, take a short drive away and into the countryside or nearby villages. The difference between these places which are like "real Spain" and the areas popular with tourists is like night and day. You don't even need to go far either, maybe a 15 minute drive away.0 -

We stay in South East Spain twice a year for approximately 5 - 6 weeks. We take the ferry to Bilbao or Santander and then drive down. We try to visit a few places when we are there and have stayed in different places on the way back.
There are some really nice places to visit away from the main cities. Some of the roads are superb, others less so. How are you intending to get around?1 -
My grandfather lived in Spain 25+ years. We would holiday there to see him
If you are going anywhere near Alicante, there is so much to do around there. You can travel up the coast (north) to Benidorm, where there are water parks, theme parks, lots of museums...etc.
If you were looking for something quieter, then you can travel down the coast towards Guardamar, Torrevieja, La Zenia... where there are some smaller water parks, shopping centers and lots of beach side restaurants.1 -

@Hannah_Scope I have a question. I was looking for online travel agents for my visit there. I came across https://gowithguide.com/spain and also a Facebook group of travel agents around the world https://www.facebook.com/groups/travelagentsoftheworld/ I was wondering what would be the best option to choose from, like looking for a guide on a travel website or a social group!0

It is difficult to advise you. With regard to car rental, it can be extremely expensive and you need to make absolutely sure that the rental package does not have any hidden extras which some travellers have only realised when they pick up their car.
In all fairness, we have never used a tour guide preferring to scout the local websites or online newspapers and then simply making our arrangements to visit. That method has really helped us and we have enjoyed ourselves immensely.
I sincerely hope that you have a wonderful time.
