We have 4 days to spend during early November to see one or two points of interest in each of these 4 towns. We are renting a car. We feel we should stay in one place for all the nights and travel to each place like a day trip. I realize it is going to be tight but we don’t have much choices.
Looking for suggestions on a good place to stay that is kind of central to these places. Some place outside the city center is preferred. Which town and any specific place you would suggest?

Before leaving home, prioritize and rank your interest in each of these four. For example, if it were my trip, I would rank Ronda last. You may not have time to visit all of these cities. Sevilla takes a lot of time and you don’t want to shortchange it.

I guess I would recommend staying at Antequera to lessen your driving distances. But, I think Cordoba would be more atmospheric, so you could walk out to the illuminated bridge at night and see the city lit up.
The question you didn’t ask is if this plan is a good idea. That is up to you, but I certainly think you're short-changing Sevilla & Granada very much, and since it’s the shorter hours of daylight in November, even more so. I have been to Sevilla & others two times for several days each time and going back again next year, Personally, I would much rather be enjoying a city rather than spending those precious hours looking out a car or train window,
With your tight schedule, having reservations/tickets for all tourist sites will be even more crucial.

Thanks for the input. We are still working out the details of the day by day plan. Will keep this input in mind. And, will share our experience when we return.

What happened to visiting the white towns for a day and driving to Segovia late evening that you had asked about in other posts?
I will add that if you’re intent on these four cities/towns, to cut down on driving time, spend one night in each place. You’d probably save yourself 8 hours of driving over those 4 days.
