Why Ronda and Setenil?
Ronda sits on both sides of the El Tajo gorge, joined by the Puente Nuevo, an 18th-century stone bridge high above the river. It is one of Andalusia's most dramatic towns.
Twenty minutes away, Setenil de las Bodegas has whitewashed houses built into overhanging rock. Together they make one of the most popular day trips in southern Spain.
