Driving from Madrid to Malaga
I will arrive Madrid airport early Sun morning Sept 26th and pick up a rental car to head south to Benaldemenas just outside of Malaga. I plan on winging it and take my time driving south and making little stops. Any suggestions on little towns to stop at on the way down?
Should I look at stopping in Cordoba and enjoying the afternoon then spend the night instead of trying to make the trip in one day? Mapquest shows that it would be approx 6 hours of driving time to Malaga.
Also, any recommendations on where to stay the last night that would be relatively close to the Madrid airport? Not necessarily in Madrid. Maybe a little town close by?
Thanks

There are many towns south of Madrid that are interesting to visit, but it depends on how much time you have & how quickly you want to get to Malaga. IMO two "must sees" driving south from Madrid are Toledo and the Alhambra in Granada, but they will each really require a day. You might be able to do a day trip (a long day!)from Malaga to visit the Alhambra.
