Traslado en coche privado de Granada a Ronda

Where the road winds through the region's countryside, white-washed villages, and lush olive groves, until you reach the rugged terrain surrounding Ronda. While some travel between these unique cities by train, using a private car service with Daytrip allows you to truly appreciate the sites along the way.

Your friendly English-speaking driver will provide unique local insights and give the option of sightseeing stops along the trip. A worthy point of interest along this car trip is the fortress of Loja, the town that formed the last frontier of al Andalus. Here, you can explore its remnants of fortress walls, admire the watchtower near the Major Church of the Incarnation, and wander through the historic maze-like alleys of La Alcazaba neighborhood within its fortified walls. Some of the little towns and less-known cities like this are difficult to reach with public transportation, but a breeze with Daytrip.

History of Ronda

The history of Ronda is as captivating as its scenery. Initially settled by the Celts, Ronda flourished during the Roman Empire era. However, it truly thrived under Moorish rule from the 8th to 15th century, leaving behind a significant influence evident in the city's architectural marvels and design of the old quarter. After the Reconquista, Ronda emerged as a hub for monarchs, further enriching its cultural and architectural heritage.

Modern Ronda

While present-day Ronda continues to grow and evolve, its allure remains intact. A leisurely walk through its streets will lead you to discover marvels like the Palacio de Mondragon—a palace adorned with serene gardens and vibrant Moorish mosaics. In contrast to the town's tranquility, El Mercadillo in the new town bustles with life, offering an array of shops, cafes, and restaurants for visitors to enjoy.
