Azahar lives in Sevilla and knows what she's talking about when it comes to tapas bars/restaurants. Be sure to visit places outside the beautiful but very touristy Santa Cruz district. Sevilla is small and very walkable. Go to the Arenal, San Lorenzo/Alameda and Triana areas for more local atmosphere and the best food: http://azahar-sevilla.com/sevilletapas/

Intimate Casa de la Memória can be a great intro to flamenco. Popular with tourists but only great artists perform here. No food, no drinks, just flamenco for about one hour. Performances every night, changing artists: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractio...Andalucia.html

The greatest flamenco artists in the world tour Sevilla theaters all the time. Concert program is updated here: http://www.deflamenco.com/conciertos...n-sevilla.html

A great variety of sights (the Cathedral, the Alcazaba, the old tobacco factory (now the main building of the university), the Indian archives (Sevilla was the "center of the world" after Columbus' discovery of America), Torre del Oro, Plaza de España are some of the most obvious), but one of my favourites is the ruins of the Roman city Italica, some 25 mins by bus from the Plaza de Armas bus station. A great little restaurant in front of the entrance to Italica. http://www.andalucia.com/cities/seville/italica.htm

I could go on and on about Sevilla, but it is very much about just walking around and get the atmosphere and feel under your skin.

Córdoba, once the most advanced city in the Western world:
The "other" Córdoba around Plaza de las Tendillas, the Plaza Mayor-like Plaza de la Corredera, the Roman ruins etc can be highly recommended. All very close to the main tourist attractions but a totally different and more local atmosphere. Bustling outdoor cafés long into the night.

Several fine bodegas/tabernas in this area. Here you'll find great local places on every corner. Taberna Salinas comes recommended in the Michelin guide, and we were perfectly happy after two raciones, a bottle of wine and a couple of brandys for some 35€. http://www.tabernasalinas.com/

Bar Santos in Calle Magistral González Francés, 3 along the eastern side of the Mezquita is a laid-back and small respite in this heavily touristy area. Wonderful Jamón Ibérico.

Felt immediately at home in Plaza de las Tendillas. The thousands of people gathering here for the midnight eating of the grapes on New Years eve is traditionally directly televised on national tv. The clock on Plaza de las Tendillas has got no bells. Since 1961 the hours has been chimed in by recorded flamenco chords from the guitarist Juanito Serrano. Great atmospehere and good spirit well into the small hours, at least in the week-ends. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fexMbX4EsRE&NR=1

I've been perfectly happy staing in modern Hotel Córdoba Centro, just excellent, some 300 meters north of the Mezquita, next door to the main Tendillas Plaza. Some 60€ for a double in July, but probably more expensive in September. http://www.booking.com/hotel/es/cord...?rid=702348143

There are other more pleasant towns to visit than Marbella, have you considered Malaga?

bilboburgler is right.

THANK YOU so much for your replies. I will have to check again in September for the theatres. I love your descriptions for restaurants. I'm sure we will enjoy every minute and everywhere.

Yes, In fact we arrived by plane in Malaga, stay two days and then continue to Marbella for a week. We will then visit again Malaga and neighborhoods. Which hotel do you recommend?

THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE.

Cordoba is beautiful, it has roman ruins in the main street and the Mezquita (the largest mosque in the world with a catholic church inside it).

Granada is also amazing ..... get tickets for the Alhambra Palace on-line before you go, its booked out for months ahead and they restrict how many visitors per day. We practically spent the whole day at Alhambra and went across to the city later in the day for a quick look (not enough).

Malaga is also an interesting city and great shopping. Needless to say, we didn't spend enough time there either.

In Málaga I would recommend very central and great value Don Curro, just off the main pedestrian street in town Calle Larios. In and around this 300 meter street there are lots of cafées, bars, restaurants and shopping. The Cathedral, the Roman theater, the Alcazaba, the Picasso museum, the new Carmen Thyssen museum and the sea are all within 5 mins walk.

Málaga classic Casa Aranda are two minutes away, perfect for a morning (or anytime) chocolate con churros or coffee. One of the best cafés I've been to in all of Spain. The old, wonderful and recently renovated Atarazana food market is next door to Casa Aranda: http://www.spain-holiday.com/blog/at...ral-market.php

And be sure to taste Conchas finas while in Málaga, they taste a mix of heaven and pure sea: https://www.google.no/search?q=Conch...w=1600&bih=783

Several hotels in the Calle Larios area, both more exclusive and more basic: http://www.booking.com/landmark/es/calle-larios.en.html
