Andalucia itinerary help

Posted by (Bay Area, CA) on

I will be traveling in March (next month!) in Andalucia and am hoping for recommendations on where to stay for a short visit. My husband and I only have 6 nights for the region and then I will have an additional 3 nights to continue exploring on my own. I had originally thought we could do 2 nights each in Seville, Cordoba, and Granada, but I think this may be too much moving around. My questions:
1) If we opted to use one or two places as a base, which town would you suggest? If you were going to cut one of them out, which would you drop? ( and hope to return another time?)
2) Where would you recommend for my solo explorations?

thank you for your input!

For your 6 nights you could do 3-4 nights Seville and daytrip to Cordoba (no need to change hotels, it's an easy daytrip). The remaining 2-3 nights in Granada.

Where are you flying into and out of?

I'm arriving into Madrid, where I'll be for 3 nights. Then meeting the hubby in Sevilla.

I don't have a flight home booked yet because I'm still deciding where I'll go after our 6 days together. I've just retired so I have the luxury of a completely open schedule.

Two nights equals one full day. Consider 3 nights in each Sevilla and Córdoba. With your additional 3 nights you could go to Granada, or head back towards Madrid and spend a couple nights in Toledo with a final night in Madrid, close to the airport.

With additional nights you could also head to Mérida for a couple nights and return to Sevilla for the return flight.

Yet another option would be to go to Cádiz for a couple nights and spend your final night in Jerez de la Frontera, flying out of its airport to Madrid. You’d need to connect to an international in Madrid.

For the 6 nights with your husband, I would do 3 nights in Seville, 1 night in Cordoba and 2 nights in Granada. This way your husband gets to see and experience the 3 jewels of Andalucia: the cities themselves, and including the Royal Alcazar in Seville, the Mezquita in Cordoba, and the Alhambra in Granada.

Or another possibility is 4 nights in Seville with a daytrip to Cordoba, and then 2 nights in Granada.

Malaga is a wonderful place to explore on your own. And about 1.5 hours by bus from Granada. So close by. Lots to see and do in Malaga.

Another idea for your final 3 nights: Valencia. I haven't been (yet) but have looked into it for a future trip.
