Discover the dramatic cliffs of Ronda and the rock-carved village of Setenil de las Bodegas on a private day trip with Sun Travel Granada. Comfortable and expertly guided, this 9-hour tour reveals the rugged beauty and rich history of Andalusia’s standout destinations.
In the heart of Andalusia, few journeys fuse history and landscape quite like a day with Sun Travel Granada. Their private tour of Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas offers more than a simple day trip; it’s a curated passage into two of southern Spain’s most striking locales. Operating out of Granada’s Centro district, this 9-hour experience combines comfort and discovery, perfect for travelers seeking a deep dive without the hassle of navigating or language barriers.
Ronda is a place where cliffs cleave the earth and time etched its story into every stone. The town’s defining sight, Puente Nuevo, is a feat of 18th-century engineering spanning a 120-meter-deep gorge, offering vertigo-inducing views and a visceral sense of Spain’s rugged geography. Beyond the bridge, the labyrinthine streets reveal a blend of Moorish and Spanish history, from the old Arab baths to the ancient bullring, one of the oldest in the country.
Setenil de las Bodegas offers an entirely different sensation: a village built into and beneath the rocky overhangs of a narrow river gorge. Its whitewashed homes integrated directly under massive boulders create a naturally sheltered village unlike any other. This geological curiosity complements the cultural legacy of Andalusia with its distinctive layout and slow pace.
Sun Travel Granada’s private service includes English-speaking drivers and amenities like bottled water and baby seats, making the trip accessible for families and comfort seekers alike. This attention to detail elevates what could be a standard sightseeing tour into a relaxed, immersive experience. For anyone visiting Granada, this trip is an essential window into the layered landscapes, rich traditions, and rugged beauty that define southern Spain’s outdoor and cultural adventure scene.
