Skip Ronda, spend an extra day in Granada

IMHO-I wouldn't skip Ronda. The white villages are spectacular. You could spend a day just driving the Pueblos blancos route. Two nights in Granada is good - just enough time to enjoy everything without rushing.<BR><BR>

in my humble opinion as well, i wouldn't skip ronda. we went to the same area just a few months ago. we spent 1 night in ronda [also stayed in seville, granada, malaga/marbella & nerja] we all agreed that ronda was the highlight. <BR><BR>depending on what you like you could cut down the nights in marbella. although i understand if you want beach time. <BR><BR>hth<BR>JP

I would definitely KEEP Ronda in your plans - if anything I would personally cut down on the time in Granada - it was my least favorite city (although the Alhambra is not to be missed) in Andalusia. The parador is fantastic in Ronda - we got a room on a corner with a full view of the valley and also next to the gorge. Make sure and request a valley view. You might consider a night in Cordoba - we were pleasantly surprised at how charming this city was and were glad to be there at might.
