Any recommendations for your favorite place to stay in Granada, Sevilla, and/or Cordoba? Also, since we can only stay overnight in two of those thrree (2 nights in each), which two should it be? I assume Granada is a must, but how to choose between Sevilla and Granada?
For the hotels, we prefer smaller places with lots of charm/ambiance and a friendly welcome. These factors, and location, are more important than a low price.
Finally, is there a hotel that would make our transition through Madrid easy? We'll be arriving early evening after a long overseas flight, and departing the next day for Sevilla (or Cordoba) by train. We've stayed in Madrid before and won't need extra time there, but it would be nice to walk around a bit upon arrival to fight the jet lag.
EDIT: sorry, I meant to say "how to choose between Sevilla and Cordoba?" (not Granada!)
