I am looking for feedback or advice on this 2 weeks itinerary leaving mid-March 2024. Debating if I should extend my stay in Seville or Barcelona or squeeze in another 2 day stop in between. Traveling solo.
Fly Into Lisbon and spend 3 nights
Train to Porto and Spend 2 nights
Fly to Seville and stay 3 nights
(Looking for another place here to spend 2 nights or I can spend more time in Seville)
Head to Barcelona and spend 4 nights
Fly home
Lisbon deserves a minimum of four nights and if you add day trips add a night per trip. Barcelona needs a minimum of three nights unless you add day trips. Sevilla two nights and if you add day trips add a night per trip. Granada is not on your list but should be and two nights is all you need.
Travelers often create and revise plans prior to offering their itinerary for our suggestions. Then, you receive remarks that may be helpful but sometimes reflect bias. I fear I'm one of those.
If this was my travel plan, I would drop Porto, add Cordoba and maybe Madrid.
The revisions look like this:
Lisboa 3 nights
Sevilla 3 nights
Cordoba 2 nights
Madrid 3 nights (day trip to Toledo and maybe a day trip to Segovia)
Barcelona 3 nights
My rationale for dropping Porto - as wonderful a place as it is, it is, in my opinion, the least interesting city on the list.
That's still a lot of moving around. I would fly Lisboa to Sevilla and train for the rest.

I've been to Seville, Cordoba, Granada, Lisbon, Porto, etc. We all have our favorites, and mine is Porto. I'd happily spend a week there. But I do think only having 3 days in Lisbon and 2 days in Porto, probably best to drop Porto and increase the nights you have in the other locations.
Yeah I heard great things about Porto so I am keeping that but basically need to now decide what I do inbetween Seville and Barcelona.
Cordoba would work well.
Córdoba, Úbeda, Zaragoza, or Valencia would work. If taking the train, stay in a place the train passes through or where you need to change trains.
