Andalusia Rhonda & White Villages/no car
 
Is it possible to see Rhonda and the other white villages if you don't have a car? We will be staying in Sevilla for 5 nights with day trips to Cordoba and Granada. Everyone keeps saying how beautiful Rhonda is. I know you can't see everything on a first trip.

I believe you can get to Ronda from Sevilla by train (through Bobadilla, if I recall correctly) or by bus (run, I think, by Los Amarillos). Hope that helps!

If you have 5 days total, I'd hold off on the white villages and hit the highlights you have planned.

Thanks to both of you for letting me know options and confirming my original plan.

I do know there are buses to some of the villages, as I'd seen references online. No bookmarks though, sorry.

However, if you're not completely opposed to driving for just a bit and just don't want the burden of a car over the entire trip, might you consider a day rental? We rented a car from the local Ford dealership in Ronda, picking it up in the morning and dropping it before they closed in the evening. They did have a maximum kilometer charge for the rental, but we were easily within it for the day.

The roads weren't bad and this allowed us time to visit Zahara, Grazalema and a few others at our own pace, with a nice leisurely drive through the national park, stops as we wished to photograph the beautiful scenery and lunch along the way. All and all, it was a good compromise for us.
