Embark on a magical day trip from Benalmádena to Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas! Discover the enchanting white villages, marvel at dramatic landscapes, and immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of these Andalusian gems.
Set off on an unforgettable adventure with our Benalmádena to Ronda day trip, enhanced by the unique allure of Setenil de las Bodegas. We’ll start by picking you up at the designated time and place in a comfortable bus, and head through the scenic landscapes of the Costa del Sol.
Our first destination is Setenil de las Bodegas, a village like no other, where homes and shops are built into and under the cliffs. Wander through the narrow streets of Cuevas del Sol and Cuevas de la Sombra, soaking up the charm of this unusual setting. Don’t miss the panoramic views from the Mirador del Carmen or a stroll through the picturesque Plaza de Andalucía. You’ll have about an hour to explore and capture the unique beauty of Setenil.
Next, we journey to Ronda, one of the oldest cities in Spain, perched dramatically above the El Tajo gorge. Upon arrival, we will embark on a guided walking tour to uncover the city’s most iconic landmarks. Start at the historic Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza, one of Spain’s oldest bullrings, then move on to the Alameda del Tajo, where you can enjoy stunning views from the “Balcony of Coño.”
Our exploration continues to the Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, a square that is home to significant historical buildings including the Town Hall and the Church of Santa María la Mayor. We’ll visit the Casa Museo Don Bosco, a modernist mansion with beautiful gardens overlooking the gorge, where you’ll get to sample Ronda’s traditional sweet treat, “yemas del tajo.”
One of the highlights of our tour is the magnificent Puente Nuevo, a bridge spanning the gorge with breathtaking views of the canyon below. Here, we’ll pause to enjoy a glass of Spanish wine on a terrace with exclusive views of the bridge, capturing the essence of Ronda’s dramatic scenery.
After the guided tour, you’ll have approximately two hours of free time to explore Ronda at your leisure. Take the opportunity to savor local cuisine in one of the many charming restaurants, visit the ancient Arab Baths, the Mirador del Puente Nuevo, or the fascinating Casa del Rey Moro with its lush gardens.
As our adventure comes to a close, we will regroup and make our way back to Benalmádena, filled with the memories of a day spent exploring the beauty and history of Andalusia’s most captivating towns.
Join us for a Benalmádena to Ronda day trip, combined with the unique charm of Setenil de las Bodegas, and experience the magic of Andalusia in one remarkable day.
