We plan to visit Spain starting on April 12th, and it turns out the April Fair in Seville starts on April 14th and goes through April 20th. We wanted to avoid the crowds surrounding the April Fair, so we will visit Madrid first. We would then be in Granada during the last 3 days of the Seville April fair, assuming that the Fair doesn't also impact crowds in Granada. Does it make sense to go to Seville the day after the April fair ends (21st)?, or is it a better idea to go to Cordoba first, and arrive in Seville a couple days later? Any advice on this strategy would be welcome, thanks!

I was in Seville for a couple of days in 2018 when the fair was going on. It was nearing the end of my group trip and very hot when I was there. I was too tired to walk to the fair grounds but in the surrounding areas you could see fair goers in the fancy outfits taking photos and horse drawn carriages with even more fancily dressed occupants. Wouldn't have seen these sights if I wasn't there at fair time, so maybe reconsider?
Sorry I can't advise on scheduling.

The Feria de Granada takes place from May 25 to June 1 in 2014, so you will not be impacted by crowds attending the fair. Obviously, the Sevilla fair has no impact iin Granada.
