The capital of my country is Quito, but the largest city is Guayaquil


Explanation:
I have been many times in Ecuador, and Guayaquil is larger than Quito, so I have modified the translation accordingly.

La capital de mi pais es Quito y otra ciudad grande es Guayaquil


Explanation:
other large cities are Guayaquil?

I think it must be: "is Guayaquil"

With this correction, the translation is: "la capital de mi pais es Quito y otra ciudad grande es Guayaquil".

If the english original continues naming other cities, the translation is:

"la capital de mi pais es Quito y otras grandes ciudades son Guayaquil, ...."

Source: my experience.

La capital de mi país es Quito y otras ciudades importantes son Guayaquil...


Explanation:
This would be my option in case the speaker keeps on naming other cities. In case the sentence finishes after Guayaquil:
"La capital de mi país es Quito y otra ciudad importante es Guayaquil"

Quito es la ciudad capital de mi país, otras ciudades grandes son Guayaquil


Explanation:
I suppose after Guayaquil you will mention other cities.
Otherwise you would have to use the singular "..., otra ciudad grande (or importante) es Guayaquil"
