Depends on how you shoot.  FOR ME......I live in the 10-24 range nearly all of the time, so the zoom is an absolute given.  You don't mention your style or what else you might be taking with you.  If you tend to live in the mid-range, I would imagine that the 14 would be fine (and it is a superb lens).  If not, you too might value the flexibility of the zoom.

I tend to skip much of the midrange and often carry the 10-24 with a tele-zoom (currently the 50-230).  And I supplement that with the 35/2 for anything that might require a wider aperture.  I am considering replacing that lens with the 33/1.4 at the moment though.

I am heading to Seville next month and my kit will consist of the 10-24, 35/2 and 50/2.  I also travel with a Minolta CLE and its trio of lenses so I can always adapt one of those three (28, 40 and 90mm in FF) as well.  I most often find the 90mm on my adapter.

Enjoy the trip.
