How many days does a proper Spain tour really need?

We’d like Madrid or Barcelona, the big three of Andalusia, and a little breathing room, without the days turning into a checklist. The trips on offer swing from a week to a fortnight. What length felt like it did the country justice?

I’d look at ten to fourteen days for a Tour of Spain; although six or seven days seems appropriate for a more regional experience.
