We are traveling from Barcelona to Costa del Sol the evening of November 16- afternoon November 22, 6 days and nights.
We want to strike a balance between cramming too much into our itinerary/too many location changes, and missing the "not to be missed" sights. We will be visiting Granada, Cordoba, and Malaga. We plan to dedicate the first day in each city to the "must see sights" and then wrap up each stay with the experiences that are less planned that we learned about in our first day.
We have never been to Spain and would appreciate your thoughts about how well (or not) our plan hits our goals and if we have given the right number of days to each of the three cities. (BTW - We definitely want to see Cordoba and Granada, we picked Malaga because it seemed doable in 2 nights and 1-1/2 days, had a great mix of ancient sites, museums and activities AND offered the only direct and reasonably priced flight to Rome in the late afternoon or evening. Seville didn't seem feasible for this trip due to the size of the area to cover and the unavailability of direct flights to Rome at the times we needed.)
THANK YOU! We are very excited about seeing the mix of cultures in this unique part of Spain.
