The day
Ronda is the city Rainer Maria Rilke called 'the dream city': a town carved into limestone cliffs and split in two by the Tajo gorge. This is a private two-hour walk through it with a local, licensed guide, for your party only.
We meet at the tourist office opposite the bullring and walk from there: the exterior of the Real Maestranza, the cradle of modern bullfighting; the Alameda del Tajo and its viewpoints over the gorge; the Puente Nuevo; and the lanes of the old town down to Plaza Duquesa de Parcent. The Reconquest of 1485, the Moorish quarter and the people who still live here, explained without a script and with time for photographs and questions.
It is a walking tour: you arrive in Ronda on your own and transport is not included. If you would rather have a full day from your hotel on the Costa del Sol, with a private transfer, a winery or a stop in Setenil, ask us for a tailor-made proposal and we will confirm price and conditions before you book anything.
