Seville - Cathedral is wonderful - level site, ramps everywhere and brand-new disabled toilets. Alcazar too is good, mainly on one level. You'll have few access problems there, with new low-floor trams.
Córdoba - Mezquita-Cathedral is also good for the disabled. Level, with accessible lavatories.
The only problem is that in the old centres, roads are narrow with heavy traffic, cobblestones and narrow footpaths. Take care and watch how you go.

Central Sevilla is now pedestrian only....

Malaga is wheel-chair friendly, even many buses, and the city centre is pedestrian-only.
You cannot expect old big monuments as Alhambra to be made completely disabled-friendly, but there's a lift to Malaga Alcazaba.

You may still have difficulties in entering something like a bar or restaurant. Ensure your accommodation has the correct disable facilities. A lot say they do but they can be dismally inefficient at times.
When on pedestrian only areas you may find that there could be a lack of ramps getting up and down the sidewalk/roadway. Don’t let this put you off coming just be sure you allow time to get between one place an another and that you are comfortable with the accommodation.
