Seville is a city, the capital of Andalucia, so probably would not suit your tastes. Been to Valencia years ago but it may have changed a bit since then but sounds like the best choice. Would recommend Seville for a short, autumn or spring break.
Google Valencia = 101,000,000 hits

You would be mental to go to Seville in June/July/August as far too hot there, even the Spanish leave in August for cooler climes, Valencia is nice but is not a tourist resort.

Consider flying into Alicante and exploring the Costa Blanca, there are places like Gandia, south of Valencia which has absolutley wonderful beaches and has the best of both worlds in that it has great bars and restuarants, but the old traditional part of town is accessible, so you get to see real Spain.
Calpe, Denia, Altea, Moraira and Javea are all nice places along the coast and far more upmarket to places like Benidorm, there will be hotels and bed & breakfast accomodations available in all those places, just Google them and you'll find loads of websites about them
Seville is a beautiful city with amazing history, great monuments, fantastic flamenco etc... but in July August will be outrageously hot... I mean really hot.

Valencia is on the coast so will be cooler, has a great old town, plus lot's of international students so great night life, lot's of funky bars in the old town (Carmen area), good beaches ...

I'd suggest a long weekend in Seville just to see the town and some flemenco shows and try some of the traditional crushed tomato sauce (because it's worth it), then head to Valencia for 10 days of sun, sand, and bar-hopping fun in the old town near the Plaza Mercado!

Hope that helps

I go to Valencia on the 15th March every year for the 5 days of the Las Fallas Fire Festival and I love it!
Valencia is more the same as Sevilla. While Valencia is a modern city( however have old town... ) Sevilla is more a visit touristic, over old building.

Im from the north of Spain , so I dont know every thing about the south...but I think that Sevilla is too much dangerous than Valencia...so...I''d go to Valencia because, Is the city of the arts and the science, ( Sevilla is the gold city ).



In the future, if you come back to spain, you have to know the north of Spain, is like south france, but also is better, and are diferent cityes...are so,so,so,so diferent as mediterranean, that you dont think that you are in spain( If you think that spain is like Alicante , Valencia.. )
