im not too much into art and architecture..so more looking forward to "doing" than "watching" - is that makes any sense

I'm not sure that having an interest in art and architecture belong to "watching" and not in many cases to "doing," but that's a philosophical question...

On the other hand, if you would tell us what you like to "do," you will get many helpful suggestions. Is it hiking? eating regional foods? exploring castles and cathedrals? Attending sports events?

When will you be traveling?  What are your interests and expectations of a trip to Spain and why are you going?  I go to get away from my mother in law (amongst other things).

I think a lot depends on where you conference is being held and what airports you are flying in and out of.  Windsurfing is very big along the southern coast.  Food is good everywhere.  At this stage you should pick up a few reliable guide books (they don't have to be the most recent editions) from your local public library and do some reading and formulate some sample itineraries.  Then, check back here with questions so we can help you narrow things down.

If your not going to be in Spain in between june to september, you wont find much to do in Ibiza. 
For a week, i think you can consider spending your time in Barcelona and Costa Brava.
