Answer 1

Short time for Andalucia. You want it cheap on transport, which will take more time. Use the busses or trains ( www.renfe.es )

to get around. Make sure you get to Granada, not for shopping, but for the Alhambra, the most stunning sight in Europe, which was on the list for the modern 7 wonders of the world. (that visit will take about 4 hours) and the Tapas in Granada are the best in Spain. Buy a beer or a glass of wine and you get a little plate of Tapas for free. Granada has also the Albacin, the moorish district, so don´t miss that.

Head to Cordoba for the Mezquita, the palace. But it is no must.

Sevilla has lots to offer, too. You should go through the websites of each town, or buy a travel guide.

Honestly, when you are three pax, look into renting a car at the airport (check the websites and make a booking) because for 4 days, you are flexible and the price is prop. the same, using public transport.

Stay at hostales, if you are ok staying in a tripple room, you save a lot of money. www.hostelz.com is a great site for that, youth hostels are a cheap way to, which are on that site too.

Hope it helps, but don´t plan too much, Andalucia is a great place, so much to do and see, so you might want to change plans.

Answer 2

Wish I was going with you... I'd hit every guitar maker in the area.

Cordoba is the heart of the bull fighting industry so, even if you don't see an actual bull fight, you may find it interesting to visit some of the estancias that raise them.

For Grenanda... just go shopping... that should take up all 4 days and 3 nights.

Answer 3

You can´t possibly do three cities in three days.

Do Sevilla alone.  Go to the Cathedral and Giralda, tour the Alcázar, then take a h**e buggy to the park (or walk, the buggy costs about 60 Euros, but it´s really nice).  Day two, walk down Calle Sierpes from the Plaza Nueva, to La Campana for coffee and sweets, shopping on the way.  Back up to the center of town, tapas or lunch in Barrio Santa Cruz, and more shopping.  Take in a flamenco show, if you´re into it, but do your research and find something other than the three big ones.  There´s supposed to be a really nice one in Triana, but I never figured it out, and La Carbonería in Barrio Santa Cruz (difficult to find, but a nice little place, from what I remember), is suppoed to have a really natural ´show´...less on the costumes (none?) and more on the just dancing.  There´s also an Arab Bath in Barrio Santa Cruz, supposed to be a nice, different way to relax.  I think you´ll probably run over on those activities, and that´ll fill your three days.  (cause you´ll probably spend more time than you think getting to and from the lodging.
