Me Mam lives in Mondron, near malaga, and myself the wife and our 3 year old are off to visit for two weeks. Plan is to hire a car in malaga and stay at mother dears for a few days before heading off for a couple of nights somewhere nearby, then back to get fed etc for a few days before heading off again.

Any tips on places to visit? Have done Granada, Nerja, etc. Was thinking Ronda, Cordoba, perhaps i can fit in a days ride with Ride Sierra Nevada 🙂 Any tips on sierra nevada national park particularly

thanks!

I'd head to Cádiz, then Doñana, then head into the Algarve.

Brother and Step-dad were out there end of last month and said it was getting stupidly hot already..
They've been twice (my uncle lives there) and always come back saying the hire car are stupidly under powered for the hills.. though you need a 'small car' for the villages, try to get one with a decent engine size!
