Stops between Madrid to Sevilla

I'm looking for suggestions of places to stop between Madrid and Sevilla. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Happy to lend a hand to someone from Mi Tierra de Connecticut.

Try Jaén and especially Úbeda (in the province of Jaén). They aren't right off the highway, but pretty close and worth a visit. You'll also go right by Córdoba and its incredible mosque, which is a stop you shouldn't pass up.

So, there you have three possibilities to consider. Good luck.

I assume you are going by car , otherwise, the only answer is Córdoba.

You might try Linares, the city where the great Manolete was killed by a bull in 1947. It is near Jaén.

If travelling by car, it really depends on how long you want to take. Give yourself six hours for the trip. That means there's not too much time left in the day for distractions, so as the previous poster said, it has to be Cordoba. See the Mosque, wander around, and if you still have time a tiny detour to the ruined Moorish city and palace of Medina Azahara a few kilometres out of town would make for a rewarding visit. If you really set off at the crack of dawn and there's still light and time you could do worse than popping into Carmona. It's a picturesque town with a stunning Roman necropolis. Have fun and enjoy the view as you pass through the Despeñaperros (the mountain pass between Castilla and Andalucia) There's a little bar perched on the abyss which is a great stop for a coffee. Have a safe and fascinating trip.
