Ronda is the capital of the Serrania (Mountain range) comprising 27 municipalities. Ronda is situated on a large plateau surrounded by the cragged mountain range. Ronda with its cobbled streets is a big tourist attraction, worth to visit on a day trip.

The majestic town of Ronda retains much of its historic charm. Its picturesque old town is famous with its many historic escarpments. Very impressing is especially the deep El Tajo gorge (180 m in the deepest part) that carries the Rio Guadalevín through its center. The 18th century Puente Nuevo offers stunning views over the Serranía de Ronda mountains.

The bullring, Plaza de Toros, is today a museum, and visitors can stroll out into the arena.

The easiest way to come to Ronda is by car or bus from San Pedro de Alcántara. The drive takes approximately 45 minutes. Another route starts from from San Luis de Sabanillas near Estepona, taking the A377 via Casares and Gaucín.
