Where is the exit from? Look at the websites of companies that are in your city, here is a list of them.

It seems to me that I saw such a tour at Sakums TO Kyiv - look at them

Departure from Lviv... although this is not so important... You can also from Kyiv
аватар Stella73
If it doesn’t matter, then I looked at a Rivne company, an inexpensive one, which I have in my bookmarks, they still go through Lviv.
At that time and that budget, whatever you want is not realistic.
At first I looked, and then I thought. It’s VERY far from Barcelona by bus.
For whatever budget you have: check out Wizz Air,
Lviv-Barcelona, ​​air. If you find about 100 euros retour, you can book. To Barcelona by bus from the airport is not very expensive, but this amount must be taken into account. Next, look for a hotel or hostel.
It is quite possible to meet 400 euros, flight + hotel with breakfast + transfers. There will be more expenses for food, and for excursions, and for a visa, but they will also be with a bus tour.
From 5 to 8 days in Barcelona, ​​just enough to see the main thing. And swim in the sea. And don't be in a hurry. There will be real rest.
The number of days - you need to look at the availability of air tickets, if you are interested in this option, and for the money that you are planning for the trip.

I definitely don’t lean towards an independent option ... for the first time, it was decided to go on a bus tour.

Here for 400 euros:

With overnight journeys and 2 days in Barcelona.
It seems to me very hard, the load is big.

Another one, for 400, with a visit to the Salvador Dali Museum, but it's for April.

In my experience, such conditions at such a time are unrealistic for such money.
We rested in September, very good impressions from the bus tour "Salut, Europe Standard". With the company "Inkomartur".
http://www.incomartour.com.ua/uploads/DOCS/Catalog_2013_avto.pdf page 18 of the catalog.
But there are short tours, for example,

I think with a diligent search, and early booking - really ... At 400 euros only for the tour, without electives, visas, transfers and other things ... something must be found.

For this amount, Accord has a couple of tours ... but they are for early booking (buying a tour 6 months before departure). Or try to catch this direction closer to the bambarbia exit ... but there is a risk that the desired tour will not be
аватар Marina_T
Stella73, you gave a link to TA, not TO. They sell tours of Davklub, Akoord, etc.
аватар Lillu
Accord has two tours that match your description
http://www.akkord-tour.com.ua/product.php/product_id/6319/category_id/106/land_id/10
http://www.akkord-tour.com.ua/product.php/product_id/3646/category_id/106/land_id/10
But they have normal prices when booking six months in advance, so it will be more expensive for May-June.

There is a good tour at Algol "Beautiful Barcelona"
http://www.algol.com.ua/tours/?tour=1064&lang=448
True, it is 11 days and a little more expensive, BUT it has 2 nights in Barcelona, ​​visiting Milan, Nice, Cannes and, if desired, Monaco.
аватар Stella73
Topicstarter, you have up to 10 days and want 2 nights in Barcelona. The problem is that to go far, but on the road and in the vicinity, I mean neighboring countries, "a lot of interesting things", I think that the organizers are trying to use it to the maximum. And yet - I looked that there are cheap tours - there are " excursion fee", that is, it is not as cheap as it seems.
Somewhere else I saw air tours, "weekend in Barcelona", there 4 days and the price was about 250 euros. True, it was written "from", and did not check the dates.
Do you have experience with night bus rides? I once spent the night on the bus, and so, the next day I was not happy, it was in Berlin, until I slept normally the next night in the hotel, I was completely unable to function normally.
Marina_T - thanks for the info. I gave what was in the bookmarks. I'll look for Accord and Davklub for sure, websites. Bus tours are convenient because sometimes you can arrange to drive with them, subject to availability; or on a tour. In Prague, for example, I went with a Russian tourist bus to Karlovy Vary, on an excursion (not free of course, but it still turned out to be much cheaper than an independent trip. And it’s also interesting.)

Excursion fee - A very interesting expense item:
“Payers of the excursion and tourist fee are the subjects of tourism activities that use monuments for the purpose of visiting them on excursions.
The maximum amount of the excursion and tourist fee should not exceed 10 percent of the profits of the subjects of tourism activities.
Why do some TOs impose a tourist tax on tourists? Or does another system operate in Europe, different from the Ukrainian one?
аватар Stella73
I almost about that. By sightseeing fee I mean an additional payment for sightseeing tours.
It seems to me that it is done for advertising purposes, so that the cost of the tour would seem lower.
You have to consider which is better. On more expensive tours -
there is no fee for sightseeing tours, that is, they are already included.
For example, the "Real Spain" tour, which is around 400 euros, there is about 100 euros plus to the tour, for sightseeing tours; more expensive options do not have this fee.
We take for comparison the tour "beautiful Barcelona". There, the price is 100 euros higher, but there are no excursion fees for sightseeing tours, that is, it turns out the same for the money :-)
In general, you need to sit down and carefully consider everything.
You also need to look at how much free time, and whether there are "mandatory" excursions, and if so, the cost of them. In general, a seemingly cheap tour may turn out to be more expensive in reality than what was originally indicated as more expensive :-).

I support Stella73 "In general, a seemingly cheap tour may turn out to be more expensive in reality than what is initially indicated as more expensive"
This happens very often.
It is also necessary to calculate the mileage of the tour so that it does not turn out that you saw the whole of Europe, but from the bus window :)

I look at this tour - it's tempting, I look and think... Isn't this the tour Lillu is talking about? Or is it really a good deal? What do you think?
аватар Lillu
The tour is simply amazing! 8 days to Barça and back! Only the whole of Europe will remain outside the bus window.
And if you count additional stages (Vienna - 50, Nice - 55 and Cannes -25), then it turns out that the tour is not so cheap. And in Barca only one day, and then if you do not go to Montserrat.
I definitely wouldn't go on this tour!
аватар Lillu
In general, it’s better to go to Barca by plane, it’s not much more expensive, but there is more time in Barca itself and you can calmly see everything and also relax at the sea.
