After leaving the Costa del Sol and Malaga, continue along a scenic route with local vegetation such as orange trees, olive trees, and cork oak and the white village of Ardales and Cuevas del Becerro.

A walking tour in the romantic town center with its churches, mini-palaces, and Spain's oldest bullring, offers plenty to uncover. Enjoy the incredible views of the Puente Nuevo, which crosses the “Tajo” (the Cut) on the Guadalevin river where you'll taste a local Ronda wine on a terrace with an exclusive view of the Tagus Bridge. The Palacio Mondragón, also known as Palacio del Marqués de Villasierra, is, without doubt, an interesting visit, being a landlord Palais with Arabic gardens, but it is also the Archeologic Museum of Ronda, with interesting pieces proving the antiqueness of the city.

What people are saying about Mijas

We were a bit skeptical about using a bus tour having a large group of people. The bus picks up people from 3 different cities and then leaves to the 2 destinations. I was surprised that everyone came at the right time and the bus left from Malaga which was the last pickup right on time. We had an awesome tour guide named Kathy (Kathleen) who was giving the guidance in English and Spanish. Again our concerns were put to rest because she did her job so efficiently and never felt that we were not informed what was happening. The landscape on the way is just serene and beautiful and Kathy described the history as well as all the important aspects of what we were looking at and we felt reached Setenil quite quickly because we were never bored. After a brief introduction of the place we were given 45 minutes to see the place ourselves. We did this and were back and we left for Ronda. At Ronda, we were given a very nice tour again by Kathy for an hour and a half. Ronda is so beautiful, it wi

De busreis vanaf Malaga naar Setenil de las Bodegas en Ronda was informatief. Onze gids (Kathy, van België) kon veel vertellen en vragen beantwoorden (Engels, Spaans en Nederlands) zowel onderweg als op de locaties. In Ronda een paar uur vrije tijd na de rondleiding. Leuke wandeling, prachtig uitzicht, mooie foto's van de brug, waterval en lekker gegeten in een van de vele taperias. Al met al een lekker dagje weg (08:00-17:30) en zeker de moeite waard om Andalusia verder te ontdekken vanaf een centraal punt (Malaga)

It was a very nice bus and a smooth ride to Ronda & back. It is quite a long bit of walking on very uneven stony roads for those with any foot or back problems. The guide was informative just not enthusiastic.

The transportation was great (big, clean bus with a very personable guide), plenty of free time in the city, friendly and knowledgeable boat guides that quickly found dolphins to observe.

Ronda was lovely. The tour guide Eduardo was fantastic.Funny ,knowledgeable and interesting,really made it a great day.
