Confused - BCN is Barcelona's airport, not Madrid

Booking.com search?????

Consider also that public transport is convenient from major transit hubs and can open options closer to sites you wish to visit.

One budget chain is Ibis. No idea if it has hotels in the places you mentioned.

In Cordoba we stayed at the AC hotel (Marriott) right across from the train station. Ask for the back side away from the busy street as it is noisy. They did move us across the hall to the quieter side. You can easily take public transit or taxi to hotels from the train or bus stations so don't need to stay near the stations. At Madrid airport we stayed at the Hilton the night before and used their shuttle from the airport after taking the train from the city and then shuttle to the airport in the morning. It was very nice being close to the airport for a morning flight.
