Cordoba or Seville for a day from Málaga or any other suggestions?

Hey all,

I am having a short break in Málaga, from a Monday morning till Friday afternoon.

So 2.5 days in Málaga with Monday afternoon counting. Probably landing, get to my hotel, leave my luggage and have a short walk around the old city as hotel is nearby. Go back, check in then probs check out the beach and area , find dinner around 8pm...if not that's too early, let me know🙃. Want to find a local place with local food , not too touristy.

Then Tuesday I want to travel for a day to Cordoba or maybe Seville.

I love architecture, history, museums, palaces, castles. Easily walkable, not too much need for public transport. Maybe a nice park to rest.

So I know Seville is bigger and I don't like to rush. Cordoba is a pretty town from what I've seen online and doable in a day.

Are there any other towns I should visit maybe? Or which one out of the 2?

Wednesday, Thursday to stay in Málaga, little bit of beach and a lot of walking and sightseeing 🌞.

Thanks for suggestions.
