Southern Spain Itinerary Assistance

We will be arriving Spain from Puglia, Italy via air Bari to Valencia in September 2025. Our itinerary as it stands right now is as follows:

4 nights (3 full days) Valencia, then travel via car for:
5 nights (4 full days) Granada with day trips planned for Nerja and Cordoba, then return car and travel via train for:
4 nights (3 full days) Seville with day trip via train to Ronda

We plan to pick up an auto when departing Valencia and return it prior to heading for Seville. We don't particularly want to change locales frequently. Looking for comments/advice on the distribution of days over this (almost) two week timeframe. Many thanks.

I would not take a day trip from Granada to Cordoba. ViaMichelib estimates the driving time at over 2-1/2 hours each way, and I have no idea what sort of parking issues you would face in Cordoba.

Cordoba is right on the rail line between Granada and Seville and is a much, much faster trip from Seville.

I echo what acraven said. It’s a long drive there and back. It would be easier to day trip to Córdoba from Sevilla.

As for parking, there are actually a few free parking lots not far from the historic center. The closest to the Mezquita are on the Calahorra tower side of the river.
