Wow great thread! thanks everyone.
We're planning on going to Barcelona, Costa del Sol next year.
In 2017 we spent two wonderful weeks in Malaga. We traded in and alternated our days with day trips and beach days. Nothing beats a three block walk to the Mediterranean Sea.

We were in Spain for two weeks last month. We spent 4 nights in an Airbnb in Sevilla and loved it! We took the high speed Ave train from Madrid to Sevilla...it only took about 2.5 hours and was so much more relaxing than flying....plus gorgeous scenery. We had originally planned to go to Granada for a day, but there was so much to do and see in Sevilla that we ended up just staying there.....

A lot to be said for both cities. The Alhambra in Granada will knock your socks off, but then it's always good to leave a darn good reason to go back and explore another time.

There is a Paradore right at the entrance to The Alhambra. It's said to be the hardest one to get a reservation in. That might be an added incentive. :)
