@daniellemybelle: you need more time in France! I've always wanted to go to Cassis. I would definitely try to stop in more towns along the coast, Cannes, St. Tropez, St. Raphael, at least 2 days in Nice. Nice or Marseilles will likely connect you through Paris or another major city for the flight home.

I'd fly to Nice from Barcelona. If you book early flights would be $50. It's an expensive area though to stay, not sure if there's any tricks to doing it on the cheap
If you get tired of the beach you can take a train for a day trip into the mountains. http://www.loumessugo.com/en/blog/entry/wonderous-mountain-train-a-day-trip-from-nice
I haven't done this but been to a couple towns a bit north and the scenery is fantastic -
Definitely check out Granada, most beautiful sunsets there if you like that sort of thing!
Another thing to keep in mind is travel days are exhausting & can really test friendships (as can travel in general
) so I would try minimise them if you only have two weeks. Maybe pick fewer cities so you can explore & find the local eccentricities in each town?Sounds like an amazing trip - Spain is one of my fave countries!

@travelgirl1: That's reassuring to know
And we will skip Malaga! I think there is definitely more to see in other cities.@ms.line: Thanks for the suggestion! Is Cordoba your favorite city in Andalucia? We are having a hard time picking just three cities there!
@Nutella: Thanks for the recommendations! I am a little nervous about that. We are trying to balance our sense of adventure with wanting to enjoy ourselves. Do you think 4-5 cities in 2 weeks (2-3 days per city) is doable? Travel within Andalucia will be short bus rides but we will have to take a few long trains as well.
@Maysprout: Thanks for the recommendations! We are pretty in love with the idea of Cassis & Aix en Provence at this point but we will consider it
@lamariniere: We'd have to do another week entirely to do more of France! We are kind of tacking on France as it is. Though I think when we sit down and figure out the itinerary and where we have to fly out of, we may end up seeing more of France that way.

@daniellemybelle: Cordoba and Grenada were my favorite, mostly because I found the mosque at Cordoba and the Alhambra (in Grenada) so fascinating and beautiful.

We did 7 countries in 2 weeks and it was a whirlwind but a blast. It gave me a good taste of where I would like to go back.l to. I would probably do Switzerland and Italy if I had to pick 2 neighbouring countries . Switzerland was absolutely stunning and Italy had so much going on!

@daniellemybelle: we did Malaga and Seville and Malaga was beautiful and we liked how untouristy it was but there was a lot more to do in Seville. That's a fun city.
