Your tour begins as your board your motorcoach for a scenic drive to Ronda, traveling along Serrania de Ronda.

Ronda retains much of its historic charm, particularly its old town, and offers a myriad of photo opportunities. You'll drive around the city's old fortified walls, complete with Arabic-style gates. With your guide by your side, you stroll to the old Don Juan Bosco house, and see the Plaza del Toros, considered the birthplace of the modern Corrida de Toros. The arena, the largest and oldest in Spain, sits in an impressive 16-sided building that also houses the Antonio Ordoñez Bullfighting Museum. The museum offers great insight into the origins and history of one of Spain's greatest traditions.

Also on your itinerary is the Santa Maria La Mayor Church, another "not-to-be-missed" photo opportunity. One of the most important sacred monuments of Ronda, the church dates back to the 13th century as a mosque. Next, you'll witness perhaps one of the most awe-inspiring views of the medieval city. The Puente Nuevo,"new bridge," built in 1793, crosses the river Guadalevin and the El Tajo, a gorge more than 500 feet deep that separates the old part of town from the new town.

Almost as inspiring are the shops in Ronda. You'll have approximately 30 minutes to browse and shop, or relax in one of the many cafés. Ronda is famous for handicraft guitars and wickerwork, and its wares range from contemporary to chic, including street merchants selling Spanish silver, antiques, paintings and clothing.

Before departing for Malaga, you'll enjoy a refreshing lunch and a glass of wine in a first-class restaurant. Your tour concludes with a walk back to your motorcoach, and a relaxing drive back to the pier. With Ronda behind you, you leave with a myriad of unforgettable memories of a lifetime.
