Actualy looks like a prety good itinerary.
A few more days and you can squeeze Bilbao in next to San Seb. but that's it.

Looks like a fun itinerary. How are you planning to get from Seville to San Sebastian, though? That could be a very long day's travel, since you're going from several hours south of Madrid to the northern coast. And be careful with your spelling of Granada -- Grenada is in the Caribbean!

Looks like a great itinerary. I was going to say the same thing as JR14, though. If you go in that order, I'd suggest flying Sevilla to San Sebastian (though not sure if there is a direct flight). You could also try flying into Sevilla or Granada, then doing the other next, heading north to Madrid, then to San Sebastian, then to Barcelona. It would reduce travel time, although it might cost more to fly into Sevilla/Granada vs Madrid.

My suggestion: on your way from Granada to Seville stop in Antequera, a very pretty and authentic Andalusian town with a nicely located medieval castle, steep streets and small authentic restaurants where they see a tourist once in a week, really nice place!
Here are some images from my visit to Antequera: http://galeria.wyprawa.info/thumbnai...lbum=77&page=3 (sorry, descriptions are in Polish).

Haven't done one-way car rentals here, but I'm sure they're available. And not to complicate things, but another beautiful spot in between Granada and Seville is the mountain village of Ronda (it's probably tougher to get to than Antequera, though).
