December - 10 nights in South of Spain - looking for guidance

Posted by on

Family of 4 leaving out of US East coast. Kids are 11 and 16. First time to Spain.
Landing on Dec 20, Returning Dec 30 (we could stay one more night)

Heard that it would be pretty cold in December, so want to focus on the south of the country.
Air Tickets are not booked, our intent is to either fly into Barcelona and return from Madrid or vice versa. We can choose other open jaw options as well.
Not planning to rent a car, we want to use public transportations and maybe ride shares for day trips.

Interested in architecture, cuisine
Interested in seeing Granada and/or Seville if we can work it in the itinerary.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

If you are interested primarily in Andalucia, I would save Barcelona for a future trip. Round trip to Madrid works fine, but you could check how the open-jaw flights to airports in Andalucia shake out.
If Madrid and Barcelona are your priorities, five days each would work well, or give the edge to whichever one interests you more. There are plenty of day trips to do from both.
Last, I would scope out how Christmas affects things.
