and many more, depending on what you want to say...

To fill in the blank, we need to understand the sentence structure and the context. The blank should be filled with a verb that describes an action or an experience that occurred during the three weeks in the south of Spain.

Given the sentence, we can infer that the speaker had a positive experience, so we can assume that the verb should reflect that. Some appropriate verbs to fill in the blank could be "spent," "enjoyed," "had," or "experienced."

To make a more accurate guess, we would require additional information regarding the speaker's intention or the specific activity they are referring to.
