Hi, I am checking connections to Ronda using Timeline website and they have very few options. I travel May 6 and 8 (in and out of Ronda) and because there is only one train, the whole journey is 10 hours getting me to Ronda late evening. any suggestions ? I checked the bus line alsa without any luck. Is there a possibility that more connections will be added as my travel dates are more than 90 days ahead?
Use the actual Renfe site
I usually start my transportation research at Rome2rio.com to see what options and routes are available
Looks like you’ve got AVE train from Granada to Antequera then regional to Ronda total about 3 hours
Regional train from Ronda to Algeciras then bus to Tarifa total about 3 hours
You will probably do better on renfe.com the Spanish rail website. More connections may appear closer to the date....
Try these references:

You may need to refine your search - Algeciras to Ronda or return are both only about 90 minutes, but the trains are also in the evening.
One important quote from The Man in Seat 61:
In theory, tickets should go on sale 60 days ahead for all trains
other than AVE trains which should open 90 days ahead. However, this
isn't exact - Renfe is a law unto itself, and loads dates in large
blocks as and when it feels like it, often significantly less than 60
days and often loading some trains before others. If you go online
and don't see the complete train service which you're expecting to
see, and it's more than a month to go before departure, the chances
are that all trains are not yet loaded.
For what it's worth: 10 years ago we traveled from Tarifa to Algeciras via bus and then caught the train up to Ronda.
Take it you are taking the ferry to Tangiers
My understanding is the bus from Algeciras to Tarifa is included in the ferry fare
