Realistically you need more than one day to explore everything Córdoba has to offer truly. However, if you're looking for a quick city break with plenty of sightseeing and activities, one day is enough to sample this beautiful city.
Personally I'd spend 3 nights in Granada and 4 nights in Sevilla. I'd visit Cordoba as a daytrip either while traveling between Granada & Sevilla or from Sevilla. This will give you enough time to adequately see Granada and Sevilla. It would basically be 2 full days Granada, 3 full days Sevilla and a day in Cordoba.
Córdoba has a smaller-town feel than Málaga does– overall more cozy, quaint, and picturesque, but also much more touristy. Since it's so small, it gets very crowded, especially in the afternoons and evenings.
How many days should you spend in Seville, Cordoba and Granada? If you have limited days to spend in Andalucía I would recommend staying at least two nights in Seville, one night in Cordoba and three nights in Granada.
Walking the streets, you can't help but visualize people of the past, coming from three very different religious backgrounds, yet all living together and adopting the same culture. If you have extra time in Seville, a day trip to Cordoba is hands down the easiest and most worthwhile.
If flying in just for a weekend, then choose Sevilla because you will have more flight option. My absolute favorite of the 3 is Cordoba, as it feels less of a big city. And if you want variety in what you can visit around the city, if staying for a week, I would pick Granada.
It's an easily walkable city and even with only 2 days in Seville you'll clock up some miles as you explore everything the city has to offer. If you arrive in Seville by car, you'll face challenges finding parking and driving down narrow, one-way streets. It's not a fun way to begin a holiday (trust me).
Ronda would be a nice place for 2 nights, but keep in mind if you will use that as a base to visit you'll be doing a lot of driving on small, winding roads.
Cádiz is quite a small city, so I recommend 1 or 2 days to visit the city. If you opt to visit Cádiz in one day, you'll have a more rushed visit, but you still be able to cover the main points of interest. However, if you'd like to explore the city more calmly, then go for two days.
We recommend three days in Seville; however, you could easily stay longer. If you only have a weekend – and Seville is a great European weekender – two days would allow you to see most of the main attractions.
What is better to visit Malaga or Granada? Even though Malaga is the bigger city and at first glance, it might seem there's more to do, I prefer Granada. The smaller city has such a unique charm and there are so many things to discover.
