Spain to Portugal (Seville afternoon) travel advice

Hi, We are flying into Madrid and flying out of Faro, Portugal, staying in Malaga for one week and the Algarve region for one week. The challenge I'm encountering is getting between the two. We don't want to use a car rental as the fees to drop off in a different country are exorbitant. I'd love feedback on this idea (or suggestions for other ways to do this in one day).

Train Malaga to Sevilla Santa Justa 9:17- 11:19

Afternoon in Seville - check bags, cab to Plaza de America, lunch and walk around Plaza de espana
Walk to Prado de san sebastian, then walk or cab back to pick up luggage at Plaza de Armas bus station

Bus Seville to Faro (either 16:00-18:15 or 18:00-20:15)

Pick up car rental at Faro airport and drive to our hotel about 1 hour away

This is a long day with 2 kids (ages 12 and 18) but we do want to see and do something in Seville.

I'm sure you have your reasons, but 7 days in Malaga and 5 hours in Sevilla seems
a bit disproportionate. Maybe move things around to spend a night or two in
Sevilla?

The walk between your places in Sevilla is longer than you think it is. If you get lost
in the narrow twisty streets of the old town, your schedule could get shot pretty easily.
