Single-day Experience
Make this experience a part of your trip.

Your day begins with a scenic drive through the Andalusian countryside, where rolling hills, olive groves, and cork forests lead to Ronda—one of Spain’s most spectacular towns. Perched above the El Tajo gorge, Ronda offers sweeping views and rich history. With your expert guide, cross the Puente Nuevo, the striking 18th-century bridge linking the old and new quarters, and explore the Plaza de Toros, one of Spain’s oldest bullrings. Wander cobblestone streets lined with artisan shops, courtyards, and terraces that reveal the city’s timeless charm. Enjoy a relaxed Andalusian lunch paired with regional wines before continuing to Setenil de las Bodegas, famed for its whitewashed houses and cafés built into dramatic rock overhangs. Stroll its stone-carved lanes, sip coffee beneath the cliffs, and embrace the tranquil rhythm of village life before returning to Marbella as the golden sunset bathes the coast.

Insider Tip

Follow your guide down a hidden trail behind Ronda’s Puente Nuevo for a rare view of the bridge from below—an unforgettable photo spot few visitors find. The experience also includes entry to Ronda’s historic bullring, one of the oldest in Spain.
