Itinerary help, 3 full days in Sevilla

Hi! I am usually pretty good at creating itineraries for our travels, but I just can't come up with a good one for Seville. We will have 3 full days. We would like to see the Royal Alcazar, Jewish Quarter, Cathedral & Giraldo, Plaza Espana, and Pasea Por Rio. I am sure I am leaving something out. Does anyone have a good outline I can start with? Thanks

We saw the Cathedral and Alcazar on the same day. Went to the Cathedral with timed entry as soon as it opened around 10:50. I decided not to climb the tower. My sister climbed the tower, and took about 45 minutes. I toured the cathedral. By the time she came down, the cathedral was PACKED. So go early and see the cathedral first thing. It is HUGE. I’ve been to a lot of cathedrals and had no idea it is so massive (and interesting!).

We did a tour of the private apartments at the Alcazar and really enjoyed it. The grounds are very beautiful as well. We had lunch near the gardens before our guided tour of the apartments. Then wandered in our own. Those two took up a good portion of the day.

Plaza de Espagna can be done at any time. We went one morning, before it got too warm. Then we had lunch and walked to the Casa de Pilatos. Enjoyed that as well.

We also were in Sevilla last September for 2.5 days/3 nights. The highlight for us was the rooftop tour of the cathedral. In fact, that was a highlight of our 17 day Andalucia roadtrip! Unlike others, we were underwhelmed by the Alcazar and the Centro Cerámica Triana. Plaza de Espana and the surrounding park are beautiful and massive. You could spend just a little, or a great deal of, time there. We especially enjoyed wandering the neighborhoods (we stumbled upon a small, religious procession and locals dancing joyously in the street), walking through Las Setas, the churros at Bar El Comercio and, unexpectedly, our hotel - H10 Casa de Plata.
