Should I spend more days in Granada or Seville?

Seeing a city in a day is not an easy task, especially if it's new to you. That's why we always recommend a longer trip. But if you only have 24 hours, you can still have a wonderful experience if you know where to go. And any time in Granada is better than no time at all!

The ideal amount of time to explore Seville is three or four days.
