Pal’s Route is a big detour but you could go that way and then drop down through Zaharia.

Benefits - you see Seville, downside the least interesting route.

Depends how much time you have :

Two other options

1.Medina Sedonia / Ubrique / Grazalema

Benefits : stunning combinations of old farming / sherry communities and then up into high, mountainous passes.

Down sides - torturous roads going 3 steps forwards and 2 back.

2. Along the coast

Conil / Zaharia / Barbate / Bolonia (ruins) / Tarifa / Gibraltar then turn left at Marbella
Benfits : stunning coasts and food all the way down to Tarifa. Gibraltar is very odd but interesting

Down sides : after Gibraltar you enter a godless, tasteless stretch of the most destroyed coastline Europe has to offer. Bit like Myrtle Beach in a bad day.

And filled with Brits and non-Spanish tourists - spent a week in Taormina once as a chaperone for high school class trip - rather boring

British Calicos has great options.

Seville is my third favourite city in the world after Charleston and Bordeaux.

Where else can you get a perfectly good three course lunch with a glass of wine for e8 ?
