I am booked to go to Spain in the spring and will be flying into Madrid and out of Barcelona. From Madrid will be be heading to Seville, Cordoba and Granada before moving on to Barcelona and flying home. Is it better to go to Granada first then Seville or Seville first then Granada heading to Barcelona. And to get to Barcelona, is it better to a flight or take the train? Also, I have my hotels booked in Madrid and Barcelona but wondering if there are any suggestions for hotels in Seville and Granada, 3 or 4 star but definitely city centre since we will not have a car.

The Steves' guidebook for Spain has good hotel recommendation for those cities. Go an easy loop. Madrid, Cordoba, Seville, Granada and back to Barcelona. Train works well. I think there is a disruption between Seville and Granada where the tracks are being rebuilt and you have to bus around but it is handled easily. The tickets for the Alhambra must be purchased as soon as possible since those do sell out.

You will need more than two weeks to do all this.
Consider going Madrid, Seville, Cordoba then Granada (take a flight to Barcelona).
While in Madrid don't miss taking a day trip to Toledo. Segovia is nice as well.
Spend at least three nights in Seville.

I love the Amadeus Hotel in Sevilla. Very comfortable, great staff and location, unique decor.
Check train schedules for Granada-Barcelona. While there is finally train service again, I'm not sure it is preferable to flying.
