 I finally bought my airfare to my trip to spain !!!  I would  spend 10 days
flying to Barcelona out of Madrid

however I want to visit sevilla... so i was thinking  4 days in barcelona,3 days in madrid   then sevilla (1or 2)

first I was thinking  come back to madrid from sevilla the night before our flight the next morning

but our flight  is at 12:30   so I was thinking  should  I stay in Sevilla and take an early train to madrid
 would I risk missing my flight..is this too crazy an  idea 
are there direct  trains from sevilla to madrid airport?? or  I would need to tranfer..

Personally, I would come back the night before. I don't like having to rush around in the morning. Of course, the trains are usually on time and very efficient. The train takes 2.5 hours, so if you got on the 7 am train, you should be at Atocha by 9:30 and out to the airport by 10 or 10:30. It would make for a busy morning.  Once you arrive at Atocha (Madrid) you would have to take either the Metro or the new Airport bus to Barajas, but I don't believe you can take a train directly to the airport.

I know I go to atocha to santa just to go from  from madrid to  sevilla

but I can figure out  what station  should  I go in barcelona  to go to madrid via renfe 
any suggestions
 I was thinking on renting  a car  to go from sevilla to madrid so we can stop in cordoba..... is this difficult ( parking , driving roads etc...)
women traveling alone......

thank you

The train from Madrid to Seville stops in Cordoba, so you could take the train and get off. I imagine you'd have to buy separate legs for the individual trips, but it would certainly be convenient.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with Barcelona.
