Julia Travel offers a fantastic 5 day tour of the south of Spain departing from Madrid. Forget the nightmare of trying to drive to these cities--a minivan will take you to each place where you meet a local guide for a tour. You hit all the highlights--Cordoba, Seville, Ronda, Granada (Alhambra), Costa del Sol (half a day there is more than enough!), and Toledo in an easy, safe, enjoyable way. Meals and accomodation are included in the very reasonable price. The dinners aren't up to the typical Spanish standards, but still a good deal.
