Coached from coast to Setinel for a walk round the village for about an hour unescorted. Lots of small cafe/bars to grab a quick snack. Onto Ronda for escorted walk around gorge sights and into the old town before being left to do our own thing for about 21/2 hrs. Guide was excellent both in the coach journey and the tour and was pretty good value. Added bonus of coming back a different route to let us see more of the national park.
