Timeline
About Ronda
Perched dramatically on top of the El Tajo gorge, Ronda is one of the oldest and most photographed towns in Spain. Its famous Puente Nuevo bridge, completed in the 18th century, spans a 100-metre-deep canyon and connects the Moorish old quarter with the newer town. Beyond the bridge, you will find one of Spain’s oldest bullrings, leafy viewpoints along the Alameda del Tajo, and winding streets full of history. During the visit, a guided walk covers the essential landmarks before you get free time to explore, shop or enjoy a long Andalusian lunch.
About Setenil de las Bodegas
Setenil de las Bodegas is unlike any other white village in Andalusia: instead of sitting on a hilltop, its houses are built directly into and beneath enormous rock overhangs carved by the Guadalporcún river. The most famous streets, Calle Cuevas del Sol and Calle Cuevas de la Sombra, run under the rock itself, lined with bars and cafés shaded by stone. The visit here includes free time to wander these unique streets, climb to the viewpoints above the village and take some of the most memorable photos of your trip.
