Actually, I take back my comments about trains--out of curiosity I just
checked the Renfe (Spanish version of Amtrak) web site and in fact you can
get from Barcelona to Ronda in as little as 6 1/2 hours, with just one
change. Basically, you take an AVE (high-speed train) from Barcelona to
Antequera (one stop before Malaga) and a regional train from Antequera to
Ronda. A round-trip ticket is about ? 130.

Check dates and trains here: http://www.renfe.com/. As far as I can tell,
the site is Spanish only.

Cheers,
Nathan
