Hi, my husband and I will be traveling through Andalusia during the last 2 weeks of September. Instead of taking the bus or train, we thought it might be fun to rent a car. I know this option is going to take more time than the bus or train and also cost more, however we would still like to do it. Our plan is to pick up the car at the railstation when departing Granada and drive to Seville, via a detour to Ronda for a couple hours for lunch. We would drop the car off at the Seville railstation upon arrival. It appears to be about a 2 hour drive from Granda to Ronda, and another 2 hours from Ronda to Seville. This will put us in Seville right about check-in time for our vacation rental.
My question to you all: Are there possible issues with this plan or driving that I may not have considered?
Thanks! Kristen

If you have 2 weeks for andaluciamis there a couple of days you could carve out for exploring the white villages? It's certainly an option to rent a car for the day but difficult to advise if this is a good idea without knowing more. For example, by doing this tou're giving up a day in Sevilla. If you already have a good amount of time in Sevilla then that would work. But if your time is limited in Sevilla it probably makes more sense to forego the car rental and head directly there.
I agree with Cathy. If you do decide to continue with the driving plan, I can tell you that the drive between Ronda and Sevilla is very easy. (I did it a few months ago)
When you reach Ronda, you will want to find the large underground parking garage in the center of the city (there may be more than one). (Look for the large "P" signs, and better yet, find the location of the garages before you enter the city.
I detoured through Ronda en route between Granada and Seville, and it was a lovely drive. My only caveat is to allow more time in Ronda than two hours -- perhaps two for lunch and two more for wandering around.
