Hi- I'm planning a trip to Spain for 10 days in early September. I'd love to visit the following cities:
Madrid, Granada, Cordoba, Nerja or Ronda, Sevilla and also San Sebastian. I'm open to renting a car but would preferably like to fly in and out of Madrid, as it will be more convenient to do so. Please help me plan an itinerary with these cities, or would appreciate advice on what's feasable or possible or most enjoyable. Thanks in advance!

You can’t do justice to that many places in only 10 days. Skip San Sebastián.
I’m assuming that when you say 10 days you are not counting travel days to and from Spain.
You plan based on where you sleep each night.
Day 1 Arrive Madrid Train to Cordoba Sleep in Cordoba
Day 2 Cordoba. Buy Mezquita tickets. Sleep in Cordoba
Day 3 train to Granada. Explore Granada Eat dinner overlooking the Alhambra. Sleep in Granada
Day 4. Alhambra. Buy tickets or better yet hire a private guide for the Alhambra. Sleep in Granada
Day 5. Train to Ronda as early as possible so you have the day and evening in Ronda. Sleep in Ronda
Day 6. Train to Sevilla. Plan the sights and buy tickets based on what’s open each day. Sleep in Sevilla
Day 7 Sevilla. Sleep in Sevilla
Day 8. Seville. Sleep in Seville
Day 9 Train to Madrid. Buy tickets as needed for sights in Madrid sleep in Madrid
Day 10. Madrid. Sleep in Madrid
Day 11. Travel home

Six places in ten days is way too many. San Sebastián is an outlier and could easily be dropped to save some time. Even then you’re looking at a lot of travel time.
