is a day trip Granada to Ronda, return to Granada for evening, doable---train or bus?
Enough time to experience Ronda?
Yes, absolutely do-able!! Definitely see Ronda, even if for just a couple of hours.
If you would like to arrange transportation, we can recommend South Ole Spain Tours. We hired a private driver thru them. Emily, who owns the company, is very totally dedicated to customer service. Check out reviews on Trip Advisor.
Are you going to be elsewhere in Andalusia? It might be easier to day trip from somewhere else, or to visit en route to your next destination. I do encourage you to visit Ronda (one of my faves).
Yes, a day is plenty of time to explore Ronda.
Thanks for your replies! Definitely looking into taking train from Granada to Ronda, with a return trip, same day.
4 hours minimum (including lunch) will give you a good feel for Ronda - the gorge, bridge, bullring, parador etc.
A bus from Sevilla may be quicker than train.
