Saturday 6/27 rome
Sunday 6/28 rome --florence
Monday 6/29 Florence

Thursday 7/16 Nice
Friday 7/17 Nice
Saturday 7/18 Nice -- Paris
Sunday 7/19 Paris
Monday 7/20 Paris
Tuesday 7/21 Paris -- Home
ok so the malaga and nice are times I have to be there due to family obligation, along with Paris, so that isn't changeable. But the rest is up for change
Should I fly from Florence to Madrid, and then train to Malaga...or should I fly to Barcelona and train to Malaga?
Also, if I were to fly to madrid (which is what I'm leaning towards) Should I stop in Granada or Seville on my way to Malaga?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Oh one more thing, when should I buy my plane ticket from Florence to Madrid or Barcelona? Any websites you know of where I could get a good deal on that flight?
THANKS FOR THE HELP! This is my first time traveling, and i'm going solo, and i'm female, and i'm damn excited!

ROCK ON!!!!
Well I preferred Barcelona over Madrid, but it all goes in who you ask. Both are amazing cities and I can't say you'd have a terrible time if you picked one over the other. I do, however, strongly recommend a day trip to Valencia (or longer if time permits). It it totally my fave city in Spain, hands-down.
Sounds like an awesome trip though! I've not been to Italy myself but a lot of tpunks have and can chime in about the Italy leg of the trip.

I was only in Madrid for one night, so that may skew my opinion, but I feel like Barcelona has a lot more going on. You can go wander down las ramblas, go to a bunch of cool bars, hang out at the beach, etc. Not to say Madrid isn't cool, I just didn't spend much time going out there, so I can't really say whether it's better or not. Sevilla is really cool, so I'd definitely recommend stopping off there. It's got a lot of cool things to check out in a relatively small area. Plus there's a really cool hostel there (Samay Sevilla Hostel) that was recommended here on the boards. It definitely made my trip that much more enjoyable.
I don't have much advice for the rest of your trip as I never went to Italy or Southern France, but it looks like you're leaving plenty of time for each of your cities. Good luck!
