Check if you can get tickets for the Alhambra for the dates you would be there. It worked out in our itinerary. However, with proper planning, both can work fine (for instance, fly US to Barcelona, see Barcelona, fly to Granada, bus/train combo to Madrid, fly from Madrid back to US).And finally, it's not budget that should make you pick destinations in Spain, but time. I’d pick Granada but here are some thoughtsSeville is bigger and is kind of the stereotypical image many people have of Andalucia.
Spain Travel Guide by Rick Steves For coronavirus (COVID-19) travel information, see our FAQ . Unlike others, I wouldn't skip Madrid. We're going to Madrid and Barcelona, and I'm trying to decide between Seville or Granada. More than that, its tangled streets, fountain-filled plazas, and outdoor cafes make it a delightful area to wake up to or wind down at the end of the day. Any suggestions? And of course the Alhambra is simply amazing.Party depends on how long you’ll be there. I would give the edge to Granada for a short stay (2 days) and PLAN on coming back to Spain another time. Granada takes longer to get to because they're working on the fast train, so you take a train as far as Antequera and then a dedicated bus from there to Granada. We have to choose one or the other to fit in our budget. The Flamenco is best there. Seville is beautiful, fun, and interesting.

The cathedral and alcazar are some of the best sights in Spain.

The mountains in the distance and the hills make the views prettier. Arrive before 8 p.m. to see the horses, but stay later, as the ambience improves after the caballos giddy-up on out.

Sevilla Travel Guide Resources & Trip Planning Info by Rick Steves You also have the Alhambra and mountains. All of these factors mean that Seville is logistically easier than Granada. I would call it pretty workaday for the most part. The Albayzin is the most unique neighborhood I’ve been in, it’s a great maze and just gritty/unpolished enough to be interesting.

Ideally, Granada (and Córdoba) should be visited on the same trip as Seville. I agree with Chani, unless you want to visit some amazing museums in Madrid, I’d skip it and head down to Andalucia.

Barcelona could be left for some future time. You must stop there and see the Mezquita!You’ve received great responses; what are your thoughts? Some of the larger tents are sponsored by the city and open to the public, but the best action is in the streets, where party-goers from the livelier casetas spill out. A once in a lifetime experience if you can get tickets through the official website (sell 3 months out) or worth the money to get with a small or private tour, which I suspect gobble up most of the tickets. We are traveling by train from Madrid and flying out of Spain (Seville or Granada would have been our last stop) to Lisbon.
The Alhambra will take up a day, so you’re almost certainly looking at three days in and out of the place.

Get inspired with Rick Steves’ recommended places to go and things to do, with tips, photos, videos, and travel information on Spain. It’s also right in the center of town and easy to visit. Both are great cities and worth visiting.I enjoyed both cities for many of the reasons already alluded to by the others.

And if you can't get tickets, then skip Granada and go to Seville.Simply from a logistical aspect, I’d go with Seville. Don't skip Granada or Seville to save money; if they both interest you, see both and cut time in Madrid or Barcelona!I second what Harald said. I would not go to Granada if you can't see the Alhambra.2) Logistics. 100F+ days on end, especially July - early September.I am pro Seville because it has one of the largest pedestrian zones in the EU, so there's less traffic and noise in the old part of town. I appreciated Granada, it is definitely it’s own place. If you like that, maybe next time check out Granada. Granada is...kind of it’s own thing.

Get inspired with Rick Steves’ recommended places to go and things to do, with tips, photos, videos, and travel information on San Sebastián. Seville we enjoyed for the Flamenco show and an inside tour of the Real Alacazar.I love both and don’t think you can go wrong. Magnificent architechture and the gardens are definitely a "paradise on earth.

The walk from the bus/train station to the old section isn't bad at all and I walked it at least once a day. Update: I’m going to BOTH places. My guess is that old town is about 1 square mile and if your accommodations are within 1/2 mile of it, you will find yourself heading out for more at all hours. So much to see and enjoy in that country. We definitely enjoyed Granada more, not only for the Alhambra, but also for the food and the Hamam.
