[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went at the end of September and did Madrid - Cordoba - Seville - Barcelona.  All travel by train, regular class is fine.  Weather was 70s in Madrid, 80s in the south, 60s in Barcelona.

You don't need 4 nights in Seville, 3 is fine.  We didn't do Segovia but Toledo is fine for a day trip. Madrid is very walkable and easy to get around.  In Madrid, we stayed at the Palacio de Tepa, which was a good location within walking distance of lots of attractions.  If you like art, don't skip the Prado, it is huge and amazing. We got around easily with very basic Spanish, as long as you're polite people are very happy to help. [/quote]

Thank you! I had the extra night since I was keen on a day trip from Seville.

At Seville, this is my plan:

Day 1 - Night arrival train station Santa Justa (maybe stop at Cordoba on the way from Madrid? to see the Mezquita, bridge and Flower alley? If time permits, Christian monarch palace?
Day 2 - Plaza, Maria luisa park, toro, walk by the river, tapas, flamenco show
Day 3 - Alcazar, Cathedral, Giralda, see the maestranza and sunset at Setas 
Day 4 - Day trip to Ronda and white villages
Day 5 - Checkout and travel to Granada

Is this feasible or am I missing anything else interesting in Seville and should I skip the Ronda daytrip?

I really want to see Ronda, Setenil and Zahara but the tours are booked out for that combo for my dates - I am seeing tours for either Ronda and Setenil or Ronda, Zahara and Grazalema. If anyone has done this day trip, need advice on what tour you booked and which is the better option between Setenil de las bodegas and Grazalema? One of them will be cut in the tours that are currently available for my dates.
