Jerez to Ronda or Jerez to Arcos? Transportation & Advice Needed
Anyone have a suggestion of how this travel can be done? It looks like the train goes way out of the way to Ronda, and the bus isn't what i'm looking for. Does anyone know of a car service that could be hired for the drive to Ronda?
If Ronda is out of the question because of transportation, do you think Arcos is a good backup? Appreciate hotel/restaurant suggestions for Ronda/Arcos as well.
Thank you.

I really liked the parador in Ronda. It is set dramatically by a deep gorge. You can walk across the bridge and eat in a restaurant looking into the gorge. Amazing experience.

Ronda is not easy to reach by public transport unless you start from a town to its east on a rail line. From Jerez, it's by bus. I went from Jerez to Arcos last Spring. Some of those buses continued to Ronda. Regional bus consortium site: http://siu.cmtbc.es/en/horarios.php Use the right most column. Today's routes from Jerez to Arcos: http://siu.cmtbc.es/en/horarios_orig...a=14&vuelta=20 Helpful to know: Estacion de Jerez is a bus station next to the train station. Under 'Days' L-V is Lunes (Mon) to Viernes (Fri) only, S-D-F is Sabado (Sat) Domingo (Sun) Festivos (holidays), meaning weekdays, weekends and holidays.
If I remember correctly, the route between Arcos and Ronda and points East is served by tourist oriented bus companies, not regional service ones, such as the above link.
