We will traveling to Spain in June, planning 3 days in Barcelona, 4 days in Madrid, 3 days in Seville and 3 days in Granada. We have 4 more days, where would you add them or would you go somewhere else in Spain.
Thanks

My must-see places in Spain: Put Cadiz and Jerez de la Frontera in one day. Jerez is only about a 40mins car drive from Seville. You can take a ferry boat to Cadiz from there. Jerez is the most Arabic and actually most beautiful of all Andalusian cities. In Cadiz visit the Camera Obscura. Also Malaga is worth a day, especially an evening on the square outside the cathedral. Gibraltar is worth half a day. From the top of the rock you can see the "pillars of Heracles" - 2 rocks on each side of the Mediterranean sea, two on the European, two on the African continent. That in ancient Greek times was the end of the world. No one had ever gone beyond those pillar... Downtown Gibraltar looks like the Covent Garden area in London. Really funny. And they make you pay with their English queen chips... in the middle of the €uro-Zone ;-)(no offense, long live the Queen!)

Would suggest Cordoba for at least 1 day to visit the Mezquita and the palace. Mezquita (spelling?) was a huge mosque built in stages that they claim could hold 50,000 worshippers at a time. After 1492, a church of significant size was built inside of the mosque. Worthwhile, I feel.
