Itinerary
Firstly, we will visit Ronda, located on top of a plateau crossed by the Guadalevín River gorge, we will marvel at the breathtaking views from its most photographed place, the impressive New Bridge, which connects the old city with the new one over a 100 meters deep abyss. With our local guides, we will visit this walled city, protagonist of stories and legends of bandits and bullfighters, and we will understand in first person, the multiple reasons that make Ronda one of the most visited cities in Andalusia. The Czech poet Rainer Maria Rilke said, after traveling throughout Europe, “I have searched everywhere for the dream city, and finally I have found it in Ronda... There is nothing more unexpected in Spain than this wild and mountainous city.” We will enjoy free time for lunch, and take strength to discover our next destination.
Next we will visit the beautiful town of Setenil de las Bodegas, a latticework of streets literally embedded in the Guadalporcún River canyon. The rustic beauty of its popular architecture, where the white of the facades, and the ochre of the stone, become its hallmarks, and above all, the uniqueness of its cave streets, will make us fall surrendered to its charm. The village is an outdoor geology lesson, divided by the river, on one side the Sun Caves, and on the other the Shadow Caves, we can enjoy a lovely walk under these ancient stones, where you can walk in the rain... without getting wet! After a bit of leisure in Setenil, our bus will take us to Ronda, the dream city of Andalusia. Come discover the charms of the city that inspired so many artists with Enjoy Costa del Sol Tours.

The tour company that Viator used was excellent. Before the trip, we received notifications with updates via WhatsApp (photo of pick-up spot, schedule, details about the ride. The most helpful info was a photo of the pick-up stop (on another trip, we were directed to the wrong spot, so this was very helpful). The bus driver was very friendly and our guide in Ronda (Dasha) was so patient and very knowledgeable.
Ronda is a must see and I liked that this tour also included Setenil! The instructions we received were so detailed which is always appreciated. The guide in Ronda was very knowledgeable and passionate about her home town. Tour was well paced with plenty of time to explore on your own as well. Well worth doing!
We had an interesting and nice trip which was well organized. Convenient pick-up place in Estepona, and good guide in Ronda. We recommend the trip.
We had a wonderful day. Tito, our bus driver was amazing. He handled the roads with care. Our guide in Ronda was very good. Also our trip to Sentinil was an experience to see. Thank you. Peter & Barb Gavan
Too little free time in Ronda after the information of our guide and no one to direct us to Setenil. We should get a map and a suggested walking route.
Suite à votre retour, nous comprenons que vous auriez souhaité disposer de plus de temps à Ronda, qui est en effet une ville magnifique. Toutefois, il s’agit d’une excursion d’une journée et nous devons respecter les horaires prévus. Concernant Setenil de las Bodegas, les informations touristiques officielles du village vous ont été envoyées avant le voyage par e-mail et via WhatsApp afin de vous aider à organiser votre temps libre. Nous ne proposons pas de guide accompagnateur pendant tout le trajet, car en Espagne seuls les guides locaux officiels sont autorisés à réaliser des visites culturelles. C’est pourquoi la visite guidée est effectuée à Ronda, tandis qu’à Setenil le temps est libre pour profiter du village à votre rythme. Nous espérons néanmoins que, malgré cela, vous avez passé une agréable journée en participant à notre excursion.
Ronda is beautiful and so is Setenil. The bus ride was about 1 hr and 30 minutes to Ronda and the just about 20 minutes to Setenil. When we arrived at Ronda we met our guide who gave us lots of great information about the history of Ronda, as well as information about places to eat and photo opportunities along the tour. Then we continued our journey to Setenil where we had 1,5 hours on our own to discover this magnificent place. We got alot of information before, during and after the trip started and we never felt unsure about where and when to meet up and who to contact if anything happened. Therefore everything went according to plan and I am sure all the participants felt well taken care of despite the fact that we were on our own for large parts of the trip. Ronda and Setenil are two places which everyone should visit. Highly recommended.
Very good tour. Organized by its director Esther, who notices the smallest details. And maintains direct contact with the customer. Ronda is a surprising place for its absolutely different natural environment. And it complements the village of Setinel very well, another great surprise to discover those "caves" above the surface. The very good bus driver and guide in Ronda, complete a highly recommended experience!
