Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags. We always send the vehicle that is the best fit for you and your luggage, so make sure to select the actual amount of luggage you are traveling with when booking. If you have oversized luggage, or are unsure if your luggage will fit, contact us.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.

The car trip from Granada to Ronda connects two cities whose architecture reflects the intertwining of cultures. As you travel south from Granada, the Alhambra mountain fortress gradually fades from view, its gardens and sparkling lakes vanishing into the distance.
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.
About Ronda
Ronda is a mountaintop city dramatically divided by the El Tajo Gorge, probably one of the most underrated cities in Europe. The old town of Ronda is particularly captivating, known for its well-preserved architecture, famous whitewashed houses, stunning vistas, and historical atmosphere.
You can walk down to the river or partially descend it for fabulous views of the town and its main bridge—the remarkable Puente Nuevo. The Puente Nuevo, completed in 1793, is the largest of the city's three bridges, spanning a 120-meter-deep chasm, linking the old town on the south and the new town on the northern side.
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.

From Granada to Ronda: travel tips
Planning a trip from Granada to Ronda promises a journey through the heart of Andalusia, where history and stunning landscapes converge. To make the most of your adventure, consider these travel tips:
Siesta time
Many shops and restaurants close in the afternoon for a siesta, typically between 2:00 and 5:00 PM. To avoid disappointment, plan your activities when traveling from Granada to Ronda around this break.
Festivals and Holidays
Check the local calendar for festivals and holidays. Ronda has numerous regional celebrations that can enrich your travel experience but might also affect opening hours and accommodation availability. Some of the most famous include Feria de Pedro Romero in early September, which celebrates the legendary bullfighter with parades and the Goyesca Bullfight, and Ronda Romántica in mid-May, when the city transforms into a historical setting with period costumes and reenactments.
Weather Considerations
Summers can be extremely hot, especially in Andalusia, so pack accordingly and stay hydrated. It's because of the heat that we say spring or fall are the best times to visit Ronda.

Things to do when you get to Ronda
Ronda's dramatic cliffs and panoramic views draw you into a world of history, culture, and beauty in the El Tajo gorge. Here are some must-do things while visiting this enchanting city.
Cross the Puente Nuevo
The Puente Nuevo stands out as Ronda's most popular attraction, providing stunning views of the El Tajo gorge. When you find yourself on this bridge, you'll be amazed by the 100-meter plunge down to the Guadalevín River. This architectural wonder connects the old and new parts of the city. Take your time to explore the viewpoints around the bridge for that picture-perfect moment. Whether capturing the striking views or simply admiring the dramatic views, Puente Nuevo is a must-see when in Ronda.
Experience the bullring
A visit to Rondas Plaza de Toros is essential; it stands out as one of Spain's most culturally important bullfighting arenas. Even if bullfighting isn't your glass of sangria, the museum provides a look into this Spanish tradition. Delve into the museum to uncover insights into Spain's bullfighting history and cultural importance. The bullring's architecture is equally impressive, with its majestic arches, rich historical ambiance, and Arabic tiles in the Royal Box making it a captivating destination to explore.
Stroll through La Ciudad
La Ciudad, Ronda's old town, is a labyrinth of narrow streets, historic buildings, and picturesque squares. When you stroll around this area, you feel like you've gone back in time. Make sure not to overlook Mondragón Palace, which boasts preserved architecture and peaceful gardens. The palace is also home to a museum that delves into Ronda's history. Another must-see is the Baños Árabes, one of Spain's best-preserved Moorish bathhouses. These places provide a peek into the past, showcasing Ronda's cultural roots.
Savor the wine scene
Ronda is situated in the Málaga wine region, making it an ideal spot for wine enthusiasts. Here you can taste some of the region's best wines. Numerous Ronda wineries provide guided tours that allow you to stroll through the vineyards, witness the winemaking process, and enjoy tasting sessions. It's a great opportunity to enjoy an afternoon soaking in the sun and savoring the diverse selection of wines available in Ronda.
When is the best time to visit Ronda
This unique city is amazing to visit year-round, but the shoulder seasons of spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) have milder temperatures and fewer tourists.
Summer in Ronda tends to get hot and crowded, so it may be for you if you enjoy the beaming sun and bustling atmosphere. Traveling to Ronda in winter can be charming, as the cool weather and fewer crowds create a more intimate feel as you explore the city's beauty.

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We used Day Trips twice on our recent trip to Spain— once from Ronda to Granada with a few hour stop at a winery between the two and a second time from Girona to Barcelona after a late dinner. Both drivers and cars were excellent and accommodating. The booking, execution, and communication with Day Trip was perfect and easy.”
“My family wanted to go from Seville to Rondo, then Granada, but did NOT want to do a tour bus, so I spent countless hours investigating options and then found this...hallelujah! We were able to plan our trip to coincide with our timetable, not a train/bus or tour and could stop when and where we wanted.
Alfredo greeted us in the Mercedes Van in Seville and drove us first to Grazelema then to Rondo. He was a delightful tour guide and waited for us as we toured the charming little town, then delivered us to the hotel in Ronda.
Damir picked us up in Ronda the following day and drove us to Granada..which was a beautiful drive...again in a beautiful and comfortable Mercedes van. The professionalism and the flexibility this service offers is over the top!”
“Used this service Seville to Ronda and Ronda to Granada. Both drivers excellent, provided loads of useful local info and provided extra services (our hotels in Seville and Granada were not accessible by car and we would have gotten lost without drivers' help). The company is flexible, too. We had to make a late change which they managed to accommodate.”
