More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning drive out of Málaga unfolds across olive-silver hills and whitewashed villages until the road drops toward Ronda. The town perches on a limestone plateau split by El Tajo, a 120‑metre gorge that cleaves the city into two moods: the compact, Moorish old town and the broader, newer plazas. The Puente Nuevo frames the gap—stone arches and carved viewpoints that make the valley and the river below feel audaciously close.
