Struggling a bit to finalize an Andulusian Itinerary

My original itinerary has me flying into Granada in late October and spending two nights in that city. I was then going to drive to Ronda and base myself there for three nights. The plan was to use Ronda to explore Zahara de la Sierra, Olvera, Setenil de las bodegas, perhaps Acinipo.

I'm ultimately heading to Sevilla to return a rental car. Currently, I've left Cordoba as a day trip taken from Sevilla. What are thoughts about eliminating some of the White Villages in order to spend a night or two in Cordoba? Which of the White Villages do people find most interesting?

Setenil de las Bodegas can be seen in a couple hours if need be. You could visit Olvera and Setenil de las Bodegas en route to Córdoba. When I was there earlier this year the road between Setenil de las Bodegas and Olvera was blocked (due to spring floods in the area) so we were not able to visit Olvera.

If Córdoba is a must, consider taking a night from Ronda and that day from Sevilla and you could spend two nights in Córdoba. That would save some backtracking from Sevilla to Córdoba.

On the drive from Granada to Ronda, consider stopping to visit Antequera’s Alcazaba and the Domens. It would break up the drive.

I based in Ronda twice. I love the city. But my heart belongs to Cordoba. I found that what I enjoyed most around Ronda was the scenic roads with pull outs to admire the vistas and take photos. You could drop the car in Cordoba, spend a night and take the train to Sevilla. Cordoba rewards those who take the time to enjoy it.
