I have posted before with questions regarding our itinerary for our trip to Andalusia and Barcelona in May. I am so thankful to everyone who took the time to respond so helpfully.
We are a family of four (two young adult children).
We prefer to avoid one-night stays. Two nights are easier, but three nights tend to be our favorite.
We will rent a car for the countryside places.
Since we live in a tropical climate and near the beach, beaches in Europe are not our priority.
Our plan was to spend 3 nights in Granada, before renting a car and heading to Ronda. We would drop the car off upon arrival at Sevilla. Our plan has been to spend 2-3 nights in Ronda as a base in order to be able to visit all the beautiful pueblos blancos nearby. We have so far had a hard time finding accommodation in Ronda.
So then we came across the beautiful Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and found a B&B there. It looks like the sort of place that we'd love - a nice change - all countryside, horses, etc. Then my husband reminded me of my problem with winding roads and car sickness. I am starting to worry if the Grazalema and Ronda areas might be problematic for me. I can take motion sickness tablets. My problem is if the winding part of the drive is more than say 30 minutes or so at a time.
Given my problem: should we perhaps stay in Malaga and use that as a base for day trips? We would certainly prefer Ronda or somewhere with a quieter, country feel, but we are having a hard time deciding since we're not familiar with any of these places.
RS mentions other places and I wonder what their roads would be like:
Arcos de la Frontera
Zahara
Estepa
Thank you so much. I apologize for this lengthy post.
