Suggestions on itinerary Madrid and Seville

Posted by on

Hi
I'll be in Spain from 22nd to 29th April. This is what my schedule is

22nd Night: Land at Madrid Airport at 21:30. Overnight at hotel
23rd: madrid sight seeing
24: Day trip to toledo
25: Leave Madrid early morning . Will reach Seville at 0930. Spend time at Seville
26: Day trip to Ronda
27: Day trip to Jerez (Horse show) and Cadiz (one beach). Which beach would be the nearest to the station?
28: Spend time at Seville
29: Early morning train to Madrid. The problem is I will reach Madrid at 11 A.M and my return flight is at 22:50 hours, so have around 9-10 hours at Madrid. How should i split 23rd and 29th in visiting Madrid sights? Do any of the sights at Madrid (museums, Royal Palace etc require pre-booking?)

Moreover, if I want to visit Granada, then probably have to be on 26th day and 27th. Which one should I choose (original plan vs including Granada), considering I'm really indifferent towards Ronda, Jerez and Granada?

Thanks for the suggestion

Things are booked. What is not booked currently is Seville hotel accommodation. But I got the point. May be we can make a day trip to Córdoba on 28th as per my itinerary. Moreover, I think reaching Ronda will be quicker from Cordoba rather than Seville?

Keep in mind that the tickets to the Alhambra are completely sold out for the month of April, so I'd leave Granada for a future trip.

In terms of your proposed itinerary.
Don't shortchange Sevilla, which deserves at least 3 full days.

Enjoy your trip!

Hi
Can anyone suggest which is the nearest beach from Cadiz train station and whether Jerez (horse show) and Cadiz beach is possible in single day from Seville?

The Horse Show in Jerez finishes at 1.30pm, and from there it's 1.5 miles to the station, so I very much doubt you will make this train ...

TRN13008
Dep 13:53 JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA (Spain)
Arr 14:30 CADIZ (Spain)

The next train ...
TRN13010
Dep 15:48 JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA (Spain)
Arr 16:27 CADIZ (Spain)

The old town in Cadiz is definitely worth a look, but the beaches, not so sure. I really don't think you have time regardless.

Ok then maybe we can miss Jerez and gi directly to Cadiz. How far is Playa de la Victoria beach from station. As you can see we are inclined towards beach for 1 day in our itinerary. I think Malaga would be far from Seville so may be Victoria beach makes more sense?
