That sounds pretty good. On your way to Barcelona I'd make a stop at Montserrat to see the monastery.

you should visit the Mezquita in Córdoba if your near granada/seville.
I'm not sure about malaga, costa brava as I have bad impressions of them being tourist traps. I've never been there so I could be wrong.

I used to live in Andalucia and, in your shoes, would prefer to spend more time in Bilbao than Malaga. Nothing wrong with the old part of Malaga.. just that there's more in Bilbao.
Love that city. In fact, all of Bilabo - the coastal route between Bilbao and San Sebastian is beautiful - one of my favouyrite places in all Spain.

If you can, take a drive down past Gibraltar and Algeciras and have lunch near Tarifa somewhere, looking across the Straits to Africa, which looms large on the near horizon.
Not a lot by way of cultural excursions down there, but the scenery can be quite nice.
- Just 'if you can' - i'd hate for you to wend your way down there and be stumped by the lack of things to do.detritus

Two days Donosti/Bilbo, two days Barna, two days Madrid, Costa Brava (better with someone who knows), and Sevilla one day and a half...like detritus said, you can jump Málaga and his fritos.
If OBBTKN isn't working in his Ossa, perhaps you can see him, ;-PAlthough thanks to the level of corruption and bastards who govern us, perhaps when you come this will be a banana republic.

seriously though.
I have been everywhere in Europe (except for sweden) and Spain is my favourite place. I love the food, wine, the people, the hippies, the old ladies the coffee, the frantic goingnowhereness, the architecture, the trains, the vibe.
I have been there so many times. I was in Valencia only a few weeks ago, which was great (bit like a small, eldery and posh barcelona)

Leave your wife at home and go catfishing on Ebro.

If you're on a budget, I think museums are free on Mondays.
Also visit El Tigre. Here you can order a beer, and they will serve you tasty tapas for free. Read the reviews.

2 days in each city specially Barcelona is like way too short.
But enjoy one of the best cities in the world.

This is a lot to cover in 10 days. I've been to Granada and Valencia in the past few years, both were great and well worth a visit.
