Arcos de la Frontera Left Luggage

It seems that this left-luggage question was last asked about 10 years ago, so I am hoping for some updated info from a recent traveler.

We would like to make a day trip to Arcos de la Frontera and we plan to use public transportation. We are debating about two options: 1) Seeing Arcos as a day trip from Seville (with return to Seville in the evening) or 2) Making Arcos a half-day layover when traveling between Seville and Ronda. I feel like it makes more sense to stop over in Arcos when moving between Seville and Ronda, rather than backtracking to Seville at the end of the day, and then traveling from Seville to Ronda as a second trip.

The decision may come down to availability of left luggage facilities in Arcos. A layover will not be possible if we do not have a place to leave (carry-on) suitcases for the day. Does anyone know if a facility in Arcos currently provides this service?

I don't believe there's an official location but this TripAdvisor thread indicates that café staff at the bus station may be willing to help.

Also, have you checked bus schedules? What I'm seeing for this month is departures from Arcos to Ronda at either 10:20 or 15:20, with that afternoon timing not giving you a very long layover. If you have time to stay overnight, Arcos is a great place to do it and you could drop your luggage at the hotel at any time.

Unfortunately, there are just too many places on the wish list and not enough days to see them all. The first bus from Jerez arrives in Arcos at 1020, which could give us between 4-5 hours to see Arcos before moving on to Ronda on the 1520 bus. We thought 4-5 hours in Arcos might at least get us a glimpse, rather than skipping it entirely. But with bag storage iffy, we'll probably take a pass this time and focus those hours somewhere else. Thanks for your help!
