Instead of 9 nights in Marbella, I would break it up...

Jerez - 2 nights
Ronda - 2 nights
Nerja - 3 nights
Granada - 2 nights

David, thanks for the suggestion. We were thinking about renting an apartment in the southern area for 9 days and then to day trips to those cities you suggested. Do you think they are doable for day trips?

Ronda and Nerja perhaps.
Jerez, Cadiz, Arcos, Granada - I think these places are too far to make your day enjoyable.
