Don't get a heavy duty 26' tourer if all you're going to do is two weeks in summer in Spain. If you're interested in having a 65ob wheelset on (a) Surly have a look at the Straggler.
It is by no means light but I found that the geo works well with 584-38 ETRTO on wide rims with mudguards. BB ends up a tad low but the thing certainly corners.
