6 Days in Southern Spain

Just go straight to Madrid.
Slow down and enjoy life.
España will still be there for your next visit.

Sounds a like a busy, fun trip. We very much enjoyed María Luisa park-- just walking around it and the plaza de espana, so I recommend you add that to your Seville list.

Happy travels!

Have you checked actual train or bus routes to Granada? You will be rushing with what will essentially be one half day.

Not much Madrid time either. Many museums close on Monday if that is a potential “touristy site” for you.

Sounds like quite a busy trip. I would prioritize Plaza de Espana over the Giralda.

When is this trip? You will want to purchase tickets in advance for the Alhambra (well in advance!) and the Sevilla Alcazar

I don’t understand going from Sevilla to Granada just to backtrack to Córdoba, but I always have a rental car.

The Plaza de España is only a 10 minutes or so walk from the cathedral, so you should be able to fit it in. It’s nice to visit at night when it’s all lit up.

Via train, I think the best way to Granada from Sevilla is thru Cordoba. And to leave Granada the only train route is again thru Cordoba

Wow. What nick said resonates with me on all his takes. Funny too.

I was not a fan of the flamenco. (Many others liked it though.)

Something like this could work... by not spending the night in Cordoba, that saves you one check in/check out. As someone else mentioned, make sure that you have your Alhambra ticket. You'd hate to make plans and then the tickets are sold out. I'm going in November and bought my tickets a couple of weeks ago.
