Advice ASAP pls! Spain Itinerary-Feedback

Hi everyone!

looking for some feedback on my Spain itinerary in early June before I go ahead and book everything.

It’s my first time!

Pls keep in mind… I have decided on these cities and not looking to change , what I’m looking for is feedback on whether I’m spending “enough” nights in each.
The following is the order I’ll be travelling and by train. I fly into Madrid and out of Barcelona or vice versa.
I’ll have a total of 17 nights in Spain.

My gut says start in Madrid and get Seville over with early in June vs 3rd week June?

Madrid - 4 nights (maybe day trip Toledo)
Seville - 4 nights (day trip to Cordoba)
Grenada - 2 nights
Valencia - 3 nights
Barcelona - 4 nights (maybe a day trip to costa brava)

Thoughts?
Should I stretch Madrid to 5 nights?
Is 4 nights too much in Seville?
Should I flip it and and spend 3 nights in Seville and 4 in Valencia?

** if I don’t do a day trip from Barcelona, is 3 nights good in Barcelona?

Also is Seville “unbearable” first 2 weeks June?
Contemplating arriving first week june vs going early September

Thank you!

Your allocation of time overall looks good. Just a couple comments…. Most find three nights in Madrid is sufficient- even for art museum aficionados. You might want to take one night from Madrid and add it to Barcelona— the city of never-ending daytrip possibilities ( Girona, Tossa de Mar, Sitges, etc.).Girona and Tossa de Mar are fantastic. In Seville, the average daily high temperature in May is 79 degrees. In June the average is 89. Were it me, I would go to Seville as early as possible and move on after three nights- even allowing for a daytrip to Cordoba ( 45 minutes away by high-speed train). Seville’s sights are concentrated into a very small area, so you can cover it in a short period of time.
You can add the shaved night from Seville to Barcelona which has fantastic beaches you will want to visit in June.
Be certain all your accommodations have AC. You can book your Madrid-Seville, Seville-Cordoba, high-speed trains now at www.IRYO.eu. Seville to Granada is best done by bus (www.Alsa.com). You can see ballpark train fares and schedules for all the train companies at www.TheTrainline.com
Have a great trip!
