Set in the limestone shoulders of the Serranía de Ronda, this full-day route threads ancient streets, 19th‑century gardens and plunging canyon viewpoints. You’ll walk the Alameda del Tajo, peer from the emblematic Puente Nuevo across the 100‑metre‑plus Tajo, visit an almazara to taste extra‑virgin olive oil, and continue into the luminous whitewashed villages of Zahara de la Sierra and Grazalema.

THE HISTORY

Ronda’s dramatic canyon and the Puente Nuevo

Ronda’s signature span—the Puente Nuevo—connects the town’s ancient and newer quarters and commands views into the Tajo, a gorge more than 100 metres deep. Stroll the 19th‑century Alameda del Tajo for panoramic perspectives of the cliffside town.

THE TASTE

Almazara visit and extra‑virgin olive‑oil tasting

The itinerary includes a visit to a working almazara where you learn the production steps of olive oil and taste local extra‑virgin olive oil to appreciate its varieties and aromas.

THE COLORS

Pueblos Blancos: Zahara de la Sierra and Grazalema

The whitewashed villages—draped with potted flowers against green hills and blue sky—offer vivid contrasts of light and color that define Andalucía’s Pueblos Blancos tradition.
