Is 2 days enough for Granada Spain?

Those that do Granada as a day trip not only are forced to visit in the late morning/afternoon (when it's the most crowded), but also must rush. You could easily spend four hours here... time a day tripper would not have. Anything less than 2 days in Granada means you won't have time to truly experience the city.

If you're in Granada only for one day, you won't have time to visit the Arab and Moorish houses of the neighbourhood, nor its medieval palaces and convents, but you can have some tapas or stop for lunch in one of its many restaurants. The Albaicin has an abundance of traditional bars to choose from.

I don't advice this and recommend spending 2 days in Granada. Granada is easily one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Don't rush this city and see the main sights in 1 day. It deserves time to wander the neighborhoods, enjoy a few lengthy meals, and take your time at the top attraction, the Alhambra Palace.

I do think two full days in Seville is the minimum to see the main sights and get a feel for the city. For me, if I only had a day in Seville, it would be way too rushed and I wouldn't get to experience much of the culture or food.

For a first visit, I think at least 3 nights in Seville, 2 in Cordoba and 3 in Granada should allow you to see the main tourist highlights without being too rushed. And if you have another day or two, I'd allocate them to Seville. But it really all depends on your interests and travel style.
