Are these two sentences correct : “After tomorrow I’ll be away for a while, because I’m going to Spain. I’ll visit you when I’m back.”

I would prefer ‘…I’ll visit you when I come back’ as the last phrase, though.
Thanks!

How about:
I am going to Spain in two days’ time and will visit you when I return
?
“Two days’ time” refers to the time you will leave. It doesn’t indicate how long you will be away.
You could also say “I am going to Spain the day after tomorrow and will…”
