Start in Sevilla with the Alcázar, the cathedral and evening flamenco, take the train south-east to Málaga for its old town and Picasso museum, and finish unwinding along the Costa del Sol.
Why it works
This is Spain's deep south in one arc: the great Andalusian city first, then a culture-rich port city that happens to sit on a coastline of easy beach resorts. Culture up front, sun to finish.
