I have 8 days that I want to distribute best and am looking for feedback: I need to get to Malaga by end of the 8th day to fly out the next morning. I'm not sure whether to skip Ronda or if it's better to go to Ronda after Cordoba or to incorporate as a day trip from Seville.
Seville: 3 days
Ronda: day trip
Cordoba: 2 days
Granada: 2 days (would need to go to Malaga that night)
Personally, with so few days I’d skip Ronda. Stick with those places that are easiest to reach.
I do have another day trip the week before in Segovia. Which would be the keeper, Segovia or Ronda?
Ronda has the gorge and bridge. Segovia has the Roman aqueduct and Alcázar. For me, Segovia wins, but it’s your trip.
Perfect, that's what I'm thinking too:)
Skip Ronda its a long trip and plenty to see in Seville and Cordoba.
Or you could do Ronda while at Malaga.
Another vote Segovia over Ronda!!!
Ronda not worth taking entire day away from Sevilla or Cordoba...you'd be there in the middle of the day, with mobs of other tourists..... ( hate day trips!!)
Can you guys recommend the best area/hotels to stay in Cordoba and Grenada?
On our recent trip we stayed at the Parador in Córdoba, but we had been to the city on a few previous visits. It’s a couple miles from the historic center and we took a bus from it to Plaza Cölon for walking around town. The hotel is nice, but probably not one a first timer to Córdoba would want to stay at.
Closer to the historic center is the H10 Palacio Colomera. It’s right on a plaza and convenient for walking throughout the city. We stopped at it for an hour while waiting to meet a relative and it looked nice. There were plenty of restaurants and shops by it. The Mezquita is a 10 minutes walk from it.
While I’ve been to Granada a few times I haven’t been there since 2014, so cannot provide an informed hotel recommendation.
In each city there are plenty of hotels in all budget ranges to choose from.
