We have 7 nights to spend in this region before taking bus to Lagos, Portugal for the remainder of the trip. We will fly into Malaga and want to see Granada, Cordoba, Seville, Ronda. My question is how to split up the nights and also which route would be the easiest or most efficient use of time. My thought was to spend 2 nights beaching in Malaga, 1-2 nights in Granada, 1-2 nights in Cordoba, and 3 nights in Seville (do a day trip to Ronda from Seville). We will be using the train or bus. WE are not looking to see every sight but want to see one or two things (we enjoy the beauty of landscape, nice views, possibly a castle or palace or 2, 1 -2 beautiful churches, bicycling in Malaga, tapas, wine, music, outdoor concerts or live music in interesting cafes and bars. 9possibly see Caves at Nerja on route to Granada?) Is there a city you would leave out or perhaps a different city to add in? We hope to use train or bus and not have to rent a car.
Thank you!

I'm not sure late April is go-in-the-water weather, even in Malaga--though I am by no means sure, not being a beach person. I suggest checking historical day-by-day temperatures for several recent years on timedandate.com and Googling for water temperatures.
If it turns out that beach time isn't in the cards, I'd omit Malaga so you won't be so rushed in trying to see the other places on your list.

The water will be bracing - low 60s.
Are you planning to rent a car or use public transportation?
