Is it better to go to Granada for 1 or 2 days?

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.

In our opinion, Granada is the better choice if you only have a day or two! After all, it's simply not possible to see everything Seville has to offer in such a short amount of time. However, Seville is definitely worth visiting if you have three days or more. This way, you'll be able to see all the city has to offer!

Granada is a wonderful city to spend 24 hours in – even if it's split into two days, staying one afternoon overnight into the next morning. In this time, you'll be able to hit up all its key spots and taste some of the city's best food.

Grenada is more mountainous, so that means it is slightly harder/slower to get around but also makes it, in our opinion, a bit more scenic. We also thought the capital of Grenada (St. George's) was prettier than the capital of Antigua (St. John's).

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.

If your day is short due to the traveling time from Madrid, I would go for Cordoba. There is so much to see in Seville that unless your trains are early / late you will miss a lot of it. The old part of Cordoba (Mezquita, alcazabar, Jewish Quarter) is comfortably seen in a day. I agree with stumblebum.
