What do see besides Seville ?
I´d like to visit some small cities/villages around Seville.
What do you suggest?
Is it feasable to to Seville -> Jerez de La Frontera -> Ronda -> Seville in half a day ?
Thanks

Sevilla-Jerez-Ronda is not only 'not feasable;' it's impossible! You might be able to do Sevilla-Arcos de la frontera-Jerez-Sevilla in a full day.
You could catch an early (07:00) train or bus to Jerez or el Puerto de Santa Maria, or even Cadiz and be back in Sevilla for your midday meal

Even with a car you will not be able to do that round trip in half a day. Maybe on a long, full day but without getting out of the car for visiting any of the wonderful places you want to go. I LOVED Ronda. Cordoba is beautiful and worth a trip!

Hip hip Jerez for Sherry - the town is so so, nice enough but the Sherry tours and the Horse Show is the reason for going. Several fancy sherry houses offer tours ('sherry' is a British corruption of the word Xeres - the town's former name; Brit merchants, seeking an alternative to French wines, introduced sherry to Britain in the early 1600s and it was a smashing success; Jerez as it was near the sea allowed for aramdas of the drink to be cheaply shipped to England. The Andalucian horse show at the Royal Riding School is similar to the Viennese Riding School as you see the horses go thru their paces. Ronda is a gorgeous captivating town featuring a gorge bisecting its old and new parts - also highly recommendable. En route to Rhona you pass from Seville you pass thru the so-called perched white villages like Arcos de la Frontera - though these look neat and make great lunch stops there's little to do in most of them but nice to pass by and wander around a bit. think you need a day for either Jerez or Ronda to enjoy it.

I don´t have time to visit so interesting places. I´ll be comming from Algarve to Seville. I´ll spend two nights in Seville. I plan to leave a whole day to visit Seville and the other to visit some other cities in Andaluzia. Jerez seems wonderfull as well ... I´m so confused ...
I think I will chose three small cities as below. If I leave Sevilha early I can be back before darkness
Sevilha -> Arcos de La Frontera
95 KM 1 hour and 30 min
Arcos de La Frontera -> Zahara de La Sierra
57 KM 55 minutes
Zahara de La Sierra -> Setenil
31 KM 39 minutes
Setenil->Sevilha
116KM 2 hours
TOTAL = 299 5 hours
