Detailed itinerary

1

2
Stop 2

We will then enter the Ronda Bullring (Plaza de Toros de Ronda), where a local guide will provide us with a historical tour, culminating with a visit to the Bullfighting Museum.
On Tuesdays, entrance to the Bullring and Museum is NOT included.

3

Later, we will head to Setenil de las Bodegas, where you will have free time to stroll through this unique and charming village nestled in the Serranía.

Cuevas del Sol Street is the most iconic street in Setenil — a narrow path running alongside the Trejo River, where houses are impressively carved directly into the rock.

4

The goal of the Ronda Bullfighting Museum is to provide simple and clear information about the Royal Cavalry Order of Ronda (Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda), its influence on the development and evolution of bullfighting as an art form, and the place Ronda holds in the history of the Spanish national tradition.

Located beneath the seating of the bullring, the Ronda Bullfighting Museum offers a chronological journey through the key aspects of bullfighting, the city of Ronda, its relationship with horsemanship, and ultimately with the institution itself, which has promoted this cultural tradition.
Entrance not included on Tuesdays.

Stop 5

The New Bridge is the most iconic monument in the city of Ronda, Málaga. Built between 1751 and 1793, it was the tallest bridge in the world until 1839, standing at 98 metres high. It connects the historic and modern parts of the city.

6
Stop 6

Ronda's Plaza de España is a central urban space, one of the city’s most emblematic and busiest squares.

It is located in the New Town (Ciudad Nueva), at the southern end of Calle Virgen de la Paz, and connects to other important streets like Calle Nueva and Calle Rosario.

This square serves as the main gateway to "La Ciudad" — the old and monumental part of Ronda — accessed from the modern commercial area via the impressive New Bridge.

7
Stop 7

This church was built by order of the Catholic Monarchs on the site of the former main mosque. Its structure is Gothic, though its naves and main altar are in Renaissance style.

One detail not to miss is the arch that once led to the mihrab, a typical feature of all mosques.

8

These baths reflect the Muslim adaptation of Roman bathhouses and feature the same layout: cold, warm, and hot rooms, hypocaust system, boiler, and reception room.

Unlike the Roman baths — which involved immersion in large pools — the Muslim version is primarily based on steam bathing, though small pools may sometimes be present.

Stop 9

Also known as the Palace of the Marquis of Villasierra, this Mudejar-Renaissance building is located in Ronda's old town. It currently houses the Ronda Municipal Museum.
