Suggestions for solo November 2019 trip

Posted by (Orlando) on

Hola amigos
I'm still deciding on my itinerary, and as I research more, I find lot of unpopular tourist destinations, which I have to visit. Right now I'm debating whether Nerja is a must visit place around Granada. I'm keeping one day for Alhambra and the Cathedral, and for walking around the town. One day I'm visiting to Alpujarras (probably taking a tour, because I'm skeptical about renting a car). The third day I was thinking whether I should go to Nerja for half a day, because I'm really restricted on days and Caminito Del Rey is a must visit for me, and looks like reaching that place without a car could be a hassle.
Any idea how to go from Granada to Caminito Del Rey and then to Ronda?
Also, i'm skipping Malaga, because after reading reviews online, I think Sevilla is a must visit.

P.S. Anybody is welcome to join this trip.
Dates for now: Nov 14 (leaving US) - Dec 1 (back at US)

Thanks

I haven't been to Nerja, but I quite liked Malaga. Sevilla and Cordoba, along with the Alhambra, are the gems of Andalucia.

Thanks for the info guys. Yeah I’m skipping Nerja (only regret being not seeing the spanish coastline at all, considering Barcelona beaches to be crowded and not that good; but I live in Florida. So no complaints 😎)
That’s the problem with public transport, I’m literally wasting half days travelling. I drive regularly in US but I have heard that drivers could be aggressive in Spain, I’m definitely not driving near the big cities, but is Andalucia comparatively less crowded, and can I drive there?
I couldn’t find much to do in sevilla( can be done in a day unless the vibe of the city itself makes you stay) , and Ronda has nice views !!

Also, I hope November will have nice weather.

Yes the information I have might be wrong, specially I think all the experiences I have heard are from people who visited in Summer. Thanks for your help Nick !! Really appreciate it.
