Seville and Granada are great places, I wasn't too impressed by Málaga and stayed away from the evil lutheran antichrists at Gibraltar. Try to make your way to Córdoba, I found it the most pleasant Andalusian city, it's ruled by Commies though.
If there, try the "morcilla achorrizada"-tapa, typical to Córdoba - delicious! Generally, eat as much jamón de bellota (best: jabugo) as you can afford. Geez, I wish I were in Spain again, yummy.

It is hot, but not as hot as in Syria, so it´s OK.
Fuenigirola is humid at nights and stinks fish, though.
Spanish sounds less nice than in the films about Mexico  No, seriously, it sound different from what I expected. Too normal.
I visited Malaga. Quite nice, especially the park along the road not far from the castle. Due to brilliant guiding by my mum, we were 15 minutes late to the last entry to the cathedral and about the same when it comes to the castle. It was during feria, so the city was full of enchanted youth, women in silly dresses (bad colours), and there was a lot of litter lying around. I visited Picasso´s museum. I have mixed feelings, but thanks to him, I learned some spanish: mujer tombada, muheres desnudas.
Seville is perhaps the nicest city I´ve visited in Spain yet, and in general one of the nicest I´ve seen. Sadly, we were too late to visit the castle, but the cathedral itself was a great thing to watch.
Granada was a disaster, by which I mean the tickets to Alhambra were sold out, and I could only see the gardens and Generalife, and Alhambra buildings from outside. Still, it was extremly nice and took us so much time we didn´t see the city itself at all. I did tell my sis, who is the only one in my family to speak spanish, to book tickets to Al-Hamra´, but in vain.
Fuenigirola where I´m staying is a busy place with lots of tourists with giant bellies on the beach. Young people look much better.
The views are a big disappointment for me. Ronda had some nice ones, though.
Gibraltar was boring except for the view from the top and lovely monkeys. They didn´t disappoint me, trying to steal stuff from my father and my sis. A shame I didn´´t catch that on film 
My sis and mum are buying silly things here. I am not.
Tomorrow I´m going to Cordoba.

Actually my father wanted to visit Cadiz very much, because of its former historical importance. My sister, who´s already visited all the cities around (she used to study in Granada I think, and earlier in Braganca, Portugal, so she´s visited much of cities around) claimed it´s the nices city in this region. Therefore, I wanted to go there too, but eventually the trip there was cancelled, because it would take us too much time to get there from Fuenigirola and we wouldn´t have time to come back, mostly due to my mother. Next time, I guess.
Cordoba was nice. Not far away from the bridge there was a nuria, by which I mean an irrigation water circle (?), like the one in Hama, Syria. I don´´t know if it´s very ancient, but it did have a maurish arch in the construction.
The cathedral was very interesting, but it was hard to get good pictures. Also indeed, the christian additions in the middle of it made it a bit cluttered, though they are nice themselves. I enjoyed the chapel in which the muslim-made arches and gothic ceiling were all covered in paintings, and, of course, the mihrab. The insides of the castle of the christian kings were a bit disappointing, but the garden was nice.
You should´ve met me, jasev

In any case it worths he visit and i recommend it. Cadiz is among the most "alien" looking cities in Spain. And much less hot than Seville or Cordoba...
