Cardiff City will host Real Betis in their final warm-up before the Bluebirds' Premier League season begins.
The La Liga club will be at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday, 4 August.
Cardiff's pre-season schedule starts against Taffs Well before touring Cornwall and Devon.
The Bluebirds beat the Welsh League Division One side 1-0 last year, in a season that was to culminate in winning promotion to the Premier League.
After the friendly at Rhiw'r Ddar on Friday 13 July, the Bluebirds will play Tavistock, Bodmin Town and Torquay United.
The Cardiff Under-23 side will also be playing four games on the mini-tour.
"After last summer, we decided to continue my lovely relationship with Cornwall for a week," Cardiff manager Neil Warnock told the club website.
"This time the Under-23s will be playing every other night along with the first team, so that everyone in the squad can get enough minutes under their belt that week.
"Last year was a success and I'm expecting even more of our fans to come down for a holiday!"
