First trip to Spain

Hi, I need a lot of help! I'll be going to Spain end of this year. These are the cities I'm going to visit over 14 days: Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, Seville, Cordoba.

I'll be arriving at and departing from Madrid. Is it a good idea to go Barcelona first upon arrival in Madrid? And how do I travel from Barcelona to Andalucia, and ending in Madrid? Anyone tried their domestic flight before?

Thanks!

Go Madrid-Barcelona-Granada-Sevilla-Cordoba, or reverse...that's the most logical circuit to follow.
From Madrid to Barcelona, the best option is the high speed train. Tickets up to 60% off can be obtained at www.renfe.es up to 62 days in advance...they are print at home tickets. The site is in Spanish, but we can help you navigate it.
From Barcelona to Granada, fly. Spanair and Vueling both make this run, and the earlier you purchase your ticket, the cheaper the price. Just beware of all check-in and baggage restrictions. I've travelled both these airlines without problem.
From Granada to Sevilla, either train or bus....both take about 3 hours, and are comfortable.
From Sevilla to Cordoba, then onto Madrid, again, the high-speed train....same purchase suggestions as above.
