Ronda

Located in the heart of Andalusia, the artistic haven of Ronda contains a diverse mixture of history, modernity and a breathtaking setting thanks to the gigantic El Tajo Gorge which separates the city into two distinct parts. The old town harks back to the Moorish era and its majestic architecture includes the imposing Iglesia de Santa Maria La Mayor, a church converted from a mosque more than 800 years ago, and the La Casa del Rey Moro Castle. Whilst Ronda is located inland, visitors can cool off in the welcoming waters of the nearby Embalse de Zahara Lake or the 50m swimming pool located in the town. Meanwhile, resorts such as Nagueles Beach on the Costa del Sol are accessible by hire car for those who want their fix of gorgeous golden Spanish sand.
