One day in Sevilla
Hello,
We have 1 day in Sevilla.
We are planning to:
- Visit Alcazar in the morning
- Visit Cathedral next
- Have lunch
- Visit Maria Luisa Park and Plaza Espana
- Eat dinner
- Goto a Falmenco show at night
The next day we plan to leave for Granada by 11 or 12
So may be take a horse carriage ride in the morning or walk in Santa Cruz ?
Any suggestions to make it better or change something.

Thanks for the link to beat the lines. Its very helpful.
Are upper quarters of Alcazar worth the visit. From what I have read, it seems Alcazar and the gardens are pretty big and take more than an hour.
We are staying near the Cathedral. Carriage ride back seems a good idea. Thanks.
Will see Santa Cruz in the morning if we can manage.
I have been trying to buy train ticket from Renfe site but so far unsuccessful.

I'm surprised you couldn't use Paypal as there shouldn't be an issue with that and I've easily been able to do that. There are some other sources, but doesn't matter now.
I think your itinerary is fine. the Alcazar isn't that big in Seville, at least compared to some other places I've been, but I suppose it might take over an hour. I'm sure some people will say the Royal Quarters (upper floor) are "worth it" and some won't, so who can say how you'll feel.

The train, an MD, makes 8 stops before arriving in Granada. The new highspeed rail is not up and running as yet.
The ALSA bus is a little quicker, just as comfortable and cheaper, if you're trying to save a few Euros. There are also more departures during the day.

Hope you aren't visiting on a Sunday, as the cathedral is only open in the afternoon from 2.30 pm for tourist visit. You can attend Mass in the morning free, but no chance of seeing anything else as only the nave is open in subdued light, and Old Master paintings, other exhibits, Giralda tower etc are all closed. On weekdays it opens at 11 am, but often there is a long line to get in, so I suggest you get a ticket from El Salvador Church nearby which admits you to both (same price, 9 euro).
Alcazar opens at 9.30 am. If you get there early, there shouldn't be much of a line to get in (9.50 euro). Or you can book timed entry online.
