April 8, 2024, Ronda – paseo circular por las murallas y miradores del Tajo

Attention! Challenging zigzag section down to the water. Sure-footedness is essential.

May 1, 2024, 54 / 24 Ronda – paseo circular por las murallas y miradores del Tajo

Sightseeing Ronda? Yes, of course, but also a small, challenging circular hike. Ronda, divided in two by a deep gorge, lies high above a steep wall. Absolutely impressive views! The only way to relax was to stop off at an Arabian bathhouse with beautiful columns, arches and light (plus a stop with a cheese and ham platter and cold beer).

At the end point (B) there is a free, relatively large parking lot, from where we actually started.
