Don't miss Seville, you'll regret it if you do!
Faro is well worth missing, unless you have a plane to catch.;)

Hi Varun
Plan the route you hope* to take by map or internet.
In my youth, the internet hadn't even been dreamed of, but is now a mine of information for young and old alike.
My guidance, in this day and age would be completely worthless to you.
* I mention that because, the best laid plans of men gang aft astray, it may have been Robbie Burns who wrote that, I'm not sure, but it means that no matter what you plan, something is very likely to change your plans, either before or during their completion.

Robert Burns, November 1785
"To a Mouse"
WEE, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi' bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murd'ring pattle!
I'm truly sorry man's dominion,
Has broken nature's social union,
An' justifies that ill opinion,
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion,
An' fellow-mortal!
I doubt na, whiles, but thou may thieve;
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen icker in a thrave
'S a sma' request;
I'll get a blessin wi' the lave,
An' never miss't!
Thy wee bit housie, too, in ruin!
It's silly wa's the win's are strewin!
An' naething, now, to big a new ane,
O' foggage green!
An' bleak December's winds ensuin,
Baith snell an' keen!
Thou saw the fields laid bare an' waste,
An' weary winter comin fast,
An' cozie here, beneath the blast,
Thou thought to dwell-
Till crash! the cruel coulter past
Out thro' thy cell.
That wee bit heap o' leaves an' stibble,
Has cost thee mony a weary nibble!
Now thou's turn'd out, for a' thy trouble,
But house or hald,
To thole the winter's sleety dribble,
An' cranreuch cauld!
But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain;
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An'lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
Still thou art blest, compar'd wi' me
The present only toucheth thee:
But, Och! I backward cast my e'e.
On prospects drear!
An' forward, tho' I canna see,
I guess an' fear!

You dissapoint me, i thought you`d have been there many many times before.

If not bus is relatively cheap.

Es prácticamente imposible evitar Sevilla porque en la desembocadura del Guadalquivir y sus marismas se encuentra el parque de Doñana, y esa zona de la costa no es atravesada por ninguna carretera. Pero si quieres evitar la autovía de Sevilla a Huelva, puedes tomar la carretera de Sevilla a Almonte, pasando por Aznalcázar y Pilas, y luego bajar hasta la costa por El Rocío y Malatascañas. Es una carretera muy transitada en verano, sobre todo los fines de semana, porque mucha gente de Sevilla va a las playas de Matalascañas.
Desde allí hay una carretera que sigue toda la costa y luego sube hasta Huelva (que tampoco podrás evitar). Es un buen rodeo, pero merece la pena.

To get to Faro you have to pass through Seville due to the Donana national park not having a road through it.
It doesn't mean you have to stay there though!!
Check out autobuses Comes for a cheap form of travel. I'd recommend heading up the Costa de la Luz to visit Tarifa, vejer, conil and cadiz
