[quote=Anonymous]i am biased, but I would pick Seville/Malaga because Andalusia is magic in winter (and hell in summer). Nothing wrong with Barcelona, it's a personal preference. Also if you are thinking of late February/early March, that is prime orange blossom season which smells amazing (Dec/Jan is prime "oranges on the trees" season, also nice)

Seville has:
-Plaza de España
-Real Alcázar 
-flamenco, literally random people singing flamenco in bars late at night
-walking along the Guadalquivir River along Calle Betis admiring the cityscape, enjoy the ambience of the Triana neighborhood
-ample bike lanes and very flat landscape
-the Giralda tower
-Alameda de Hercules (large outdoor paved plaza/park with sidewalk cafes galore)
-Random old palaces like the Duchess of Alba's mansion, Casa de Pilatos, etc
-Santa Cruz neighborhood with the super narrow streets 
-Caravel ship docked in the river
etc etc etc

quite easy to get to either Malaga or Cadiz or Granada by train.

My only advice is pack your warm coat. outdoors will be nice and warm but sometimes indoor spaces aren't well heated and it can get chillllllly. and the coastal areas are quite humid which somehow makes it feel much chillier in winter, too.[/quote]
