Southern Spain packs Moorish palaces, orange-tree courtyards and a tapas-and-flamenco rhythm into a run of cities an hour apart by fast train. It's one of Europe's great easy loops — no car, no rush, just warm evenings and a new old town every couple of days.
When to go
Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) are ideal — warm, long evenings without the furnace heat of a Sevillano summer. Come in high summer only if you love it hot and can move at the local pace: siesta, then out late.
The shape of the trip
How it strings together.
- 1Seville
Start with the cathedral, the Alcázar and tapas crawls through Santa Cruz and Triana.
- 2Córdoba
A short train for the Mezquita and flower-filled patios — an easy day or overnight.
- 3Granada
The Alhambra above the city, and the free-tapas bars of a student town below it.
- 4Málaga
Finish on the coast — Picasso, a working port reborn, and a beach lunch.
Good to know
- ·Book Alhambra tickets weeks ahead — they sell out, and it's the one thing you can't wing.
- ·The AVE and regional trains link the cities fast and cheap; you don't need a car.
- ·Dinner is late — 9pm or later. Nap, then go out like a local.
