Next year we are planning on a 2 week trip around Spain. We have done the pyrenees & Picos a few times as well as the dash down to Algeciras,. really .
We would like to see a bit more of the contry this time around. We have a list of places we would like to visit including:
Salamanca
Seville
Ronda
Granada
Cuenca
Has anyone done a similar trip and if so did you find any interesting roads to link up the places above.

I do this southern Spain UK run quite a few times a year and here is my favorite route plus a lovely tootle round the Andalusian countryside (I tacked on the Cuenca bit though).
Santander - Burgos via the N623.
Burgos to Salamanca - mostly Autovia but worth it to get some extra time in Salamanca - magic place. There is a shorter route to Salamanca but not so nice.
Salamanca to Cordoba - this is probably the best road north/south I have found in Spain. Leave on the A50 then turn onto the N501, and then the N502 south. Stay on the N502 until you are almost into Cordoba.
A431 to Carmona (lovely small castle town) then decide how youi would like to enter Seville. That's will lead you to the best road into the town for your hotel etc.
Head south on the Auto Via again to Ls Cabezas - not too far, then onto the A393 to Jerez de la Frontera (where the MotoGP is in April). Eventually to Arcos de la Frontera.
Take the A372 to El Bosque, then on to Grazelema.
Take the A2502 to Ubrique and continue on through Cortes de la Frontera then join the A369 toward Gaucin. Have a cup at Gaucin and visit the station and gawp at the views on the way there.
You need to turn round and head back up the same road but all the way to Ronda. Sounds boring (retracing) but the road is much better to ride in this direction any way. If you like fast twisties this will burn you out LOL.
From Ronda there is a super fast road (the local Plod use it for training Hi Speed pursuit as its fast but some serious corners), then if you want Auto Via to Granada (the coastal route is nice but loads of stop start and traffic - takes ages - I'd sooner spend my time exploring the Sierras around Granada).
From there Jaen, Ubeda and then your choice of roads (non great as far as I know) to Cuenca.
This sounds like a blast of a ride. Wish I was joining you.
Sorry the map png was a bit too big to upload. Sure you will find the route though.
Cheers

). After that, it's the road from Marbella to Ronda, but the 'super-fast road' in-between sounds enticing... where exactly is it?
