We are in Spain as I type this and having a wonderful time; I recommend a trip to Spain for all.
We have been traveling by train and bus but soon will be picking up a car at the RENFE station in Sevilla and we will have five days to make our way to Granada.
Does anyone have suggested modifications to the following plan, or suggestions on places not to miss stopping at once we are on this path?
1) Leave Sevilla and take the A4 (toll) highway to El Peurto de Santa Maria; continue down the coast to somewhere like Velar de la Frontera and then back to Cadiz for evening and overnight.
2) Drive from Cadiz through Arcos to Ronda with stops at (Zahara?, Grazalema?, where else or instead?)
3) After one night in Ronda we are next booked for two nights in Nerja. The places we´d like to go in this area include El Torcal and Antequra but I don't know the best routing or order.
4)After two nights in Nerja we then return the car to the Granada RENFE stations.
Any do, don't, should, oops, great comments are appreciated.

We did a similar trip, arriving home last weekend. My only caution would be that driving from Cadiz through Arcos to Ronda may be enough driving for the day - without going through Zahara and Grazelema. Zahara and Grazelema are accessed by very narrow, winding, mountainous roads and take a lot of time.
Arcos is a lovely town and I would recommend spending time there instead of just driving through. We spent a night in Arcos and then spent the entire day driving through Zahara and Grazelema to Ronda. I just don't think you would have time to do all in one day.

Your trip looks great! Cadiz - Arcos - Ronda will be a long day without much time for stopping along the way. If you do have time for a side trip, we really enjoyed our visit to the Roman ruins and museum at the tiny town of Bolonia (south of Cadiz and just north of Tarifa). Hasta la Vista!!
