I can't decide if I should go to Spain and learn Spanish and then come back and finish my Spanish major, or if I should get as far into my Spanish major as possible and then go to Spain. What do you think?

Go to Spain first.
A travel to Spain can be more educational than waiting to "learn" the language in the University.
Buen Viaje!

If you learn to speak spanish correctly you will be understood anywhere you go, Latin America or Spain. Every country has a different accent when speaking, but spanish is spanish. After you learn spanish you will most likely pick up words used in different countries, but that's really just slang.

You should learn the language first (if you really have to) and then go to place and meet people that speak the language. In any case, you dont really have to go to Spain to have any understanding of that language or to complete your Spanish major.

The best way to learn a language is immersion. If you must be able to communicate in a language in order to eat, you will learn the language. Children do it every day.
Learning through immersion will teach you to think in the language. Only then can you free yourself from the shackles of your native language, and communicate effectively.
The downside of learning through immersion is that you will learn the spoken language, not the written language of academia. That is because the "commoners" in all countries speak "incorrectly," using questionable grammar, imprecise terms, and slang. If you intend to pursue an academic career in a language, then actually learning to communicate in it can be a hindrance to your professional advancement.

Total immersion is always the best way to learn a language, but unless you're made out of cash, it's not always practical. I've tried the Rosetta Stone product, which uses immersion to teach. I found it kind of boring, but I didn't really give it enough time. I'm like to hear someone else's comments on it.
Here's another product that might help...
