RONDA It is not easy to resume the monumental richness of Ronda, which is built around its famous and spectacular Tajo (steep cliff). You may wacth it from Puente Nuevo (New Bridge). This bridge get connected the new side of the town with the old city centre, where it is worth to visit Santa Maria la Mayor church, the city hall, San Sebastián minaret and all palaces and small squares.
We recommend you to visit Plaza de Toros (Bullfight ring) built during the XVIII century, the Arab baths and Casa del Rey Moro (Moorish King House) with beautiful gardens and gorgeous views. If you want to know the history of bandits go to visit their Museum.

ANTEQUERA This old village is worth to be visited and its Arab citadel. It is located up on a hill. In its old quarter you will find the collegiate church towers of Santa Maria la Mayor, as also Encarnación and San sebastian temples.
YOu may visit the city hall located in a place where it was an old convent with an old beautiful cloister from the XVII century.

GAUCÍN We have special feelings for this town which is located at the foothill of Hacho Mount, in the middle of Serrania de Ronda in an area full of chestnut trees and near by Guadiaro and Genal rivers. At the top, castillo del Aguila (Eagle castle) is located, and inside the town you may enjoy a walk along the streets, the Fuente de los Seis Caños (Six Tubes Fountain) and its gorgeous views. In a cloudness day Africa coast can be seen.

MONTEJAQUE Near by Ronda, we also recommend to viti this little town of arab origins.
If you are an expert or you like the cold cut and products from the pig, you will be able to enjoy their excellent products from the Iberian pig. And if you want to enjoy an archeologhical journey, you should know from here there is an access to cueva del Hundidero (Hundidero's cave) which is connected to Cueva del Gato (Cat's cave), more than 4 kms long where prehistoric rests have been found.

MONDA Town loated in Sierra de las Nieves which keeps its castle, arab origins, a calvary from the XVIII century and interesting city hall.

BENALAURÍA A nice way among chestnut trees will bring you to this little town with its narrow streets and where the quietness can be breathed. Small squares, nice views and a museum located in an old olivemill are some of the tentations you may find here.

ÁLORA Up on a hill by Guadalhorce valley is Alora located. The arabs lived here for a long time until the end of XV century, when the villa was reconquered by the Catholic Monarchs. It is interesting to see Encarnacion church built, of course, on the place where the old mosque was.

PARAUTA It is one of the ecologhical towns of Andalusia located in the middle of Serrania de Ronda. Walking along the streets you may see tiles on the walls with references to their history. If you talk to any inhabitant don't forget to ask about the monumental encina Valdecilla.
