Best route bus or train to Andalusia region in spain

Hello,
I appreciated most the answers in my previous post.

I am planning to fly from London to Malaga (Spain) or Granada(Spain)
Trip will be from aug 28-Sept 3.

If I fly aug 28 from London to Granada, visit Alhambra that I most want to stay 2 days.
Leave aug 30 to Seville (train)--- stay 2 days.
Leave Sep 1st to Córdoba (Train) - stay 1 night
Leave for Sept 2nd to Toledo - visit Toledo major attractions.
Leave Sept 2nd to Madrid (train) -- stay 1 night.
Leave Sept 3rd o London (fly).
Are these best routes for train? If not then please advise.

Or if I fly Malaga airport then I want to know what is the best option to explore those cities through train routes. Please advise.

I also have another option for drive. But need best Gps route how to drive from Granda to Madrid to cover the Andalusia region.

My most interest to see history and cultures. If any beech nearby I would not mind to stop for couple of hours.

The Train is the best option Malaga has train routes to Seville and Cordoba which then have onward trains to Toledo and Madrid, have a look at www.trainline.eu for prices and times

For the trip from Cordoba to Toledo, you will have to go all the way to Madrid and double back. The rail line to Toledo connects only to Madrid. I love Toledo, but that's a lot of time on the train just to get a very few hours in Toledo. To make matters worse, the historic district in Toledo is quite some distance from the rail station, and you'll have to spend extra time storing and retrieving your luggage. I say it's just not worth it. I'd consider skipping Toledo and spending your sightseeing time that day in either Cordoba or Madrid.

Thanks! Or I considering second option.
Fly to Malaga
Fly out from Granada
Not to touch Toledo or Madrid.

What is best route? car or train to go Seville, Córdoba with option of flying in to Malaga, and Granda.
I know I have very limited time. I am also afraid getting train if I miss train then I have to wait since it is new country for us.
If train routes are best then would someone suggest train station names and nearby hotels for those cities.

Thank you!!!
