Advice for driving between Granada to Ronda to Sevilla

Posted by elizabethfinfrock on 12/02/25 10:28 PM

Planning a trip this spring. Will tour in Spain (mostly Andalucia) ahead of Rick Steves tour in Portugal. Trying to figure out the best way to get from Granada to Ronda and then eventually get to Sevilla.

My main questions are: 1) do folks feel comfortable renting a car and driving on that route, and 2) what are some of the best places to stop along the way?

Thank you so much for your input. Favorite hotels in Granada, Ronda and Sevilla would be appreciated. I have the Rick Steves guidebook, but would appreciate input if you have somewhat recent experiences with this.

In Granada we stayed at Hotel Anacapri (from the RS guidebook). In Sevilla, we stayed at El Rey Moro (might have been from RS guidebook) We liked both hotels.

We drove from Sevilla to Granada, no issues. We stopped at the white villages on the way. We visited Ronda on a day trip from Grazelema. We picked up our car at the Sevilla train station when we were finished in Sevilla and returned it to the Granada train station upon arrival to Granada. Driving was fairly easy though there were mountains and we wouldn't want to do it in the dark.

In Sep 2023 my partner and I stayed in Sevilla, Ronda, and Granada (in that order), and chose to rent a car to drive among them. We made a few stops during the drives. Information on those drives and on where we stayed are in our trip report (parts 1-4): https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/trip-reports/trip-report-spain-aug-sep-seville-ronda-granada-cordoba-madrid
