Where is the best place to spend Christmas in Spain - Seville, Cordoba or Madrid in order to experience a traditional Spanish Christmas Eve. Thank you

I vote for Seville. It is smaller., friendly, and a great cathedral for Christmas Eve. And the weather should be better than Madrid. Corddoba is too small and limited.

My wife and I arrived in Madrid on Christmas Night by Air from Munich. We were exhausted and we fully expected Madrid to be completely dead.
Imagine my amazement when I left my hotel near the Plaza Puerta del Sol to stretch my legs and found the entire City was roaming around that plaza and the Plaza Mayor. I rushed back to our room and got my wife and we roamed with the families of Madrid for hours tasting treats and enjoying the street performers. It certainly was a mop scene but it was very exciting and enjoyable for us. I can't say what it might be like in the other cities but it was wonderful in Madrid.
