Staid (relatively), well-run, weather like Seattle, not too many tourists - try Bilbao

Medieval, and cheap - Toledo, Avila, Granada

Sun, music, dancing, tourists - Malaga

Better music - Sevilla

Big city and international airport, and generally grand - and @1.5-2x as expensive - Madrid

If you go to Sevilla, you must go to the Flamenco Show at the Tablao El Arenal. Fantastic!
