The beautiful and historic town of Ronda is one of the oldest towns in Spain and is one of the genuine Andalucian treasures that is accessible to tourists visiting the Costa del Sol. It stands at an altitude of 739 metres and has is one of the most visited towns in Andalucia.
Ronda is simply perfect for a 2-days visit where you can go out simply to absorb the city, enjoy walking in the old part of the town and get a taste of the greatest tapas Spain has on offer.
If you wish to stay longer, which we definitely recommend, we advise to do a wine-tour, olive oil tasting, go horseback riding, explore nature in a 4×4, go hiking or biking, or paragliding. Or simply stay at home at the pool to read a book.
