Cádiz, La Caleta is a beach located in the historical center of the city of Cádiz. It is a natural harbor by which Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans penetrated historically. main attraction is its location, a scene that has inspired musicians and poets like: Isaac Albéniz, José Maria Pemán, Paco Alba, and Carlos Cano. It has been pictured in several films, such as 007: Die Another Day, Alatriste, and Manolete.
Csaba B — Google review
Not sure how typical it is there, but during our 2 days in Cadiz, water in La Caleta was very turbid (likely due to heavy rain in Andalucia couple days before our arrival). Also loads of seaweed😬 You find much better conditions on the south side of the walkway to the fortress. It has access to open Atlantic and water there is much clearer, but swimming conditions are harder due to higher waves. If you just want to play on the sand - it's a place for you, although we visited pre season and I can see it getting very crowded. Big parkings are available nearby, but be prepared for them to be full or if you get lucky, to dig deep into your pockets - 15€/day seems to be cheap in Cadiz😬

Parque Genovés is a picturesque and expansive park located in the Old City section of Cadiz. It borders the university campus to the north and features a wide variety of plants, trees, and pathways. The park's design by Valencian architect Geronimo Genoves Puig includes a grotto with a waterfall and an ornamental lake adorned with dinosaur sculptures. Visitors can enjoy picnics, leisurely walks, or let children play at the playground.
Great location right by the sea. It’s located beside the parador at the top of the old city of Cadiz. Some very unusual tropical plants dating back 100+ years. A great playground for the children keep them entertained, and for adults a nice small coffee shop with outdoor seating at very reasonable prices. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area and you want a bit of shade.

Lovely park in Cadiz. There are waterfalls, raised walkways and a play park. It's got nice sea views too. There are lots of trees and plants and lots of shady walks. There is a shop/bar to buy beer, coffee and ice creams too. Really lovely place to relax and unwind.

Seems like it is not being kept or looked after. Trees and flowers need trimming etc. No water in fountains, no waterfall functioning. Has been taken over by countless pigeons. Still very nice collection of trees and flowers worth a visit, but do not expect too much.

Torre Tavira is a historic observation tower in Cadiz, dating back to the 18th century. It offers stunning panoramic views of the city and the sea, making it a must-visit for photography enthusiasts. The tower features a camera obscura on its top floor, projecting real-time images of the surroundings onto a white screen. Visitors can also explore two exhibition halls within the tower.
It's part of the Camera Obscura, which unfortunately we couldn't visit as it was fully booked. The narrow climb up the tower was well worth it for the views . Lots of information on the walls as you climb.

Marta was a great tour guide. She explained everything to our group and had a playful sense of humor. The views of Cadiz and beyond were amazing. The staircase is a workout but the views are well worth it.

Very interesting presentation, with stunning view to the city from the top of the tower. Good thing that it was not crowded at all. 8€ entrance is ok price Camera obscura presentation is very interesting and I would like to thank the lady for her presentation and explanation of the city. It's a different and interesting view of seight seeing

Catedral de Cádiz

Mentioned on 
+21 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Catedral de Cádiz is a stunning architectural masterpiece that showcases baroque, rococo, and neoclassical styles. It took 110 years to build and stands as a symbol of the city's resilience after being decimated in the 16th century. The cathedral's gold dome dominates the neighborhood, offering dramatic views from its bell tower climb.
Decided to walk from the Port and found myself at the wonderful Catedral de Cádiz. 10 euros to enter or $11.80 US dollars which includes the Catedral and the conservatory. I paid at the entry and after a little conversation the receptionist gave me an audio guide in English. I stopped at each station and listened and admired the historical record. The Catedral was a unique and interesting place. I ventured to the conservatory after making a small purchase of a magnet for my daughter. Be mindful the ramp/walkway is not easy but worth every step. The view from the top is mesmerizing. I was blessed to catch it at sunset. You can see God in every aspect of His earth and creation. I stood in awe at this picture which will remain in my minds eye forever.
Merc J — Google review
Nice cathedral in colonial style. The entry ticket costs 10€, a bit expensive but I recommend to visit inside. Outside there are many restaurants, i consider them more touristic places and I suggest to just walk few meters and you can find more choices and less touristic.
Luca — Google review
Very recommended. Do not miss it:) Beautiful cathedral with interesting architecture and history. It has a large grotto ( including a mummy of a maiden in incredibly good condition!). The entry includes headphones tour guide, entry to the church tower where you can take a panoramic look at the city from above, the tower is relatively easy to climb as it hardly has any stairs! The ticket price also covers the museum (a bit away from the cathedral but closes at 16:00!) On the square before the cathedral there are a couple of coffee-bars and an ice cream shop which are open daytime (unlike the restaurants which open mostly later than 20:00) and a rooftop bar which opens only in the evening. The drinks and food prices are normal and very convenient for a main square shop - unlike most European cities:) I got my entry ticket on the spot but it can also be purchased online in advance.
Raida S — Google review
Cádiz Cathedral is a very impressive and monumental building, uniquely placed so close to the sea and is beautiful both inside and out. The views of the city from the bell tower are spectacular and the crypt is not to be missed. The first time we were there the Christmas Crib was still in place and it was stunning. My favourite part are the two angles on both sides. Lots of good artwork and the silver on display is amazing.
Liam C — Google review
While on RCCL Explorer OTS Transatlantic West 2025 we stopped at Cadiz. It was an easy and fun port for sightseeing and walking. It you like old architecture and history the Cathedral is a must visit. There is also a Jesuit church nearby that is 0 KM of the El Camino de Santiago route from the southwest of Spain. Lots of history to explore. We enjoyed the musicians that performed in front of the cathedral.

We stopped in Cadiz while on a long cruise from Lisbon. We spent the day walking around the old city center just exploring. Lots to see here. Today was marathon day in Cadiz so every place we went was very crowded. The cathedral is beautiful on the outside. Unfortunately we were unable to enter the church due to the marathon and crowds. We sat at a cafe in front of the cathedral and just enjoyed all the happenings.

Beautiful hotel. Clean room and great sea view. Sunset was amazing. The receptionist was excellent. Friendly, spoke great English and couldn't be more helpful. Breakfast service was different. A very sharp and unfriendly service from one of the waitresses. Good food.
Mandy M — Google review
Great room, lovely hotel and nice beaches in the surrounding area. Two downsides: Firstly, the wifi was absolutely terrible, and at some points just didn't seem to exist. Second was that we had to wait 1.5 hours after check in to get our room, and even though they very kindly gave us a complementary drink, none of the staff apologised or said sorry at any point (maybe I'm just very English in this situation). But ignoring that, this place is magical!
George W — Google review
Unfortunately, our stay at Hotel Playa Victoria in Cádiz did not meet our expectations. The value for money was simply not justified. The rooms are outdated and in need of renovation. One of the major issues was the shower – the water was scalding hot and impossible to regulate, even after contacting the reception. No solution was offered, which made the stay uncomfortable. The hotel advertises a beachfront location, but there is no direct access to the beach. While the pool temperature was pleasant, there were far too few sun loungers available, making it difficult to relax. The only positives were the location and the friendly check-in experience with Nacho at the reception. Beyond that, the hotel falls short in many areas and we would not choose to stay here again.
Sandra G — Google review
*Edited due to managers response with attached photo of confirmed sea front reservations from booking.com which was not given to me until I insisted and had to send screenshots of reservation. Continuous accusations of false claims is tiring.* Noelia, Alvaro were terrible for check in and check out. Alvaro was not helpful and although my mom needed accessibility, he told me it wasn’t possible. This was after the issue of trying to give me partial ocean view when I paid for ocean front. After about an hour of back and forth, they “found” an accessible shower room. During check out, we were told we didn’t pay for parking when in fact we did. Noelia who is front desk and service oriented insisted it wasn’t paid even with proof of payment because Alvaro did not provide ticket or any other service... Overall the hotel needs work. During our stay, we were not informed of beach towels, buffet lunches, parking or additional information that would help our stay. Do better, treat people kinder and elevate your service consistency.

Hotel from the 90s and it shows. Big room great bed. Noisy city side but ok with closing the Windows. 3 star hotel in my opinion. Nice personnel.
Thomas P — Google review
Unfortunately, our stay at Hotel Victoria Playa Cádiz was far from what we expected. The room smelled strongly of sewage, and the shower only produced scalding hot water – no way to cool it down. I ended up using the pool shower instead, which barely worked either. The wallpaper in the room was peeling off in several places, and at the pool, it was a daily fight to get a sunbed – mine was broken, adding to the frustration. Access to the beach is only possible through a makeshift path via an emergency exit, which felt anything but relaxing. For the price we paid, this hotel is simply outrageous. Positive: The staff were friendly and the location is quite good. But that’s about all I can say on the plus side.
Markus H — Google review
PROS: The staff are very polite and helpful. The location is good, on the beach and near most amenities and selection of bars and restaurants. Although the quality of food generally is not very good. It’s a very touristy place. The breakfast at the hotel is good, but some items like pancakes you could only get if you eat before 9am and the “hot food” is more lukewarm or cold that hot. CONS:. At €330 a night for bed and breakfast you may expect some luxury but unfortunately you will not get any. The rooms are small and very dated and lack very basic facilities such as tea/coffee machines, slippers and ropes that usually you get in 4/5 star hotels. Our room had sea views and that part was nice, but there was a smell of damp and sweat as soon as we walked in which would not go away no matter how much we aired the room. We could not even get WiFi in our room. The hotel said they had problems with their provider. The hotel was full so we could not get another room and as we had prepaid, refund was not available either to go somewhere else. The pool is very small and kids and adults are jumping into it all the time so forget about a peaceful swim or sitting by the pool. There are only around 20 or so sunbeds available. Nowhere near enough for the demand. To hire a sunbed on the beach is €22 for 2 beds which is around €10 more than average and can get very expensive if you want to sit on the beach every day. The hotel car park is also expensive at €23 per day and in high season it is almost always full. There are nearby parkings around €17/€18 per day, but they’re also often full and some are so tight that you cannot even get out of the car. Basically, avoid Cádiz in summer months as it’s very crowded and everything is overpriced including the hotels!

The most wonderful beach, especially for children as it slopes so gently. It is quite windy so lots of waves but i seriously suggest long hair is tied back or it will be stuck to your sun lotioned face and lip balm. Glorious sunsets here too.

Cape Trafalgar, battle of Trafalgar! Beautiful site with a good view of the Coast. There are paths around the lighthouse and beaches surrounding it. But if you come here to read historical info signs about the battle, there are none. (Spain and France lost this one 🙄). But its still worth a visit.

From basic introductory tours to VIP experiences including vineyard visits and wine pairings, there's something for every enthusiast.
A great experience. Our guide was excellent and the tour was very educational. Well organised and plenty of time allowed for picture taking and questions. The tasting and tapas were perfect. Recommend going for the 4 wines and tapas option.

Great tour around the premies of Bodega Tio Pepe and the González Byass Sherry house. Started with a train ride around the park and buildings and then a guided tour in a lot of the historical buildings of the wine yard. We ended with a Sherry tasting with some small tapas. I recommend the large package to experience it all, it was so interesting. In the end you passing thru the gift shops with the full sherry assortment and more. I would definitely come back if I’m visiting Jerez again.

Our visit to Bodega Tio Pepe was an unforgettable experience! As soon as we stepped inside, we were enveloped by the rich aromas of aging wine and the sight of countless barrels lined up, each telling its own story. The sheer scale of the bodega was impressive, and it was fascinating to learn about the traditional process of sherry production. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing insights about the history of Tio Pepe and the unique characteristics of their wines. Walking through the barrel room felt like stepping back in time, and we loved hearing about the craftsmanship that goes into each bottle. The highlight of the tour was definitely the tasting session. Sampling the different sherries was a treat, and we appreciated how the guide explained the nuances of each variety. The pairing with local tapas was a delightful touch, enhancing the flavors and creating a perfect pairing experience. Overall, our time at Bodega Tio Pepe was both educational and enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it easy to relax and soak in the experience. I highly recommend this visit to anyone who enjoys wine or wants to learn more about sherry in a beautiful setting!

I don't understand why some people have given such negative reviews. I suspect they are just grumpy folk with a short fuse. Our couple of hours were great. Started off with a little train ride (actually bus pulling mini wagons, but still cute) around the grounds (a huge plot they own in the centre of town next to the cathedral) (I have given 4* instead of 5* as I would have preferred to stroll around the wonderfully ornate gardens on my own, at my own pace, but this isn't an option thus remove 1*). Then a little walking tour through the old factory and storage rooms. Our guide was gentle and informative. Ending up with the tasting of 4 different sherries. I would recommend the max tasting package. For the extra €5 you get two extra glasses of sherry, well worth it IMHO. All in all, a great way to get gently pickled and taste some great drinks.

Didn't try any other Bodega Tours but maybe should have done a bit more research. Maybe it was our guide but didn't feel as though we learnt much about the why or how of Sherry production. Also thought the 'tapas' represented very poor value in a city of great Tapas. €100 for a family of 4 (obviously no Sherry for the kids) seemed a lot

A very interesting tour in a very impressive bodega steeped in history. We bought a tour and a tasting (with 4 wines, but no food package). Firstly, the good stuff: lots of history, lovely environment, very interesting tour guide who was clearly passionate about the history of Tio Pepe/GB. Now the not so good: As many reviews have pointed out, the tour groups are simply too big. You feel like cattle being shunted around. Whilst the bodega has lots of ambience, the tasting area feels like a laboratory! It's bright, even stark. Plain white tables and chairs. Everyone (and there is a mass of people) is pushed together. It feels very impersonal, more like a production line. If you don't order the food package, you get absolutely nothing with your sherry tasting. Not even a tiny packet of bread snacks. I thought that was pretty poor. Many people did order food, and from what I could see, it didn't look that great. There seemed to be quite a bit left on the serving plates as we left. Afterwards, we went to a nearby bar, full of ambience and locals, and had great tapas. So, all in all, a nice tour, but it could have been so much better. We are going to another tour tomorrow at a much smaller, less commercial bodega. My hopes are high and my fingers crossed...
Mike P — Google review
The tours are excellent, friendly helpful guides. Suggest buying the 4 wine tasting as it's worth the money. Our guide was amazing, however to be 5 stars they could reduce tour sizes (30 per group) so they could attend to the tasting better and be a bit less rushed.
Gareith S — Google review
Toured the bodega on 7th November 2022 with a group. Entry fee is about 18 euro but worth it if you are interested in learning more about sherry. We had a tour of the facilities with a good English speaking guide and finished off with a short tasting of a few of their sherries. Of the four offered for tasting there was only one (the extra dry) that didn't appeal to me. Several others thought the same. Quite an extensive set-up that handles weddings, receptions, etc. There is a gift shop and a hotel on site.

Catholic cathedral

Churches & Cathedrals
The Cathedral of Jerez de la Frontera, also known as Colegiata de Nuestro Señor San Salvador, is a Catholic church with a rich history dating back to the 17th century. Located in the Plaza del Arenal, this magnificent structure boasts a domed ceiling, an elaborate facade, and a detached bell tower that showcases both Gothic-Mudejar and Baroque architectural styles.
Absolutely beautiful building. Terrific tour at your own pace, listening in your own language to the guide as you move around the numbered points within the church itself and the attached buildings. We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend to everyone.

Nice cathedral, with a lot of light and ample spaces. There's also a small treasure museum and a VR-experience included in the ticket, which is of 8€ per adult, in my opinion too much though, for what the cathedral has to offer.

A very thorough and well-organized guide to the stunning Cathedral of Córdoba. It provides fascinating historical facts, clear architectural descriptions, and insightful details that enhance any visit. Perfect for both tourists and art enthusiasts. Have a great VR experience, but the schedules are a bit short, well overall it stands out for its quality and usefulness.

A must-see cathedral around Sevilla. I was amazed by its collection of silver holy items and thought this place was so underrated 🙃 I had no difficulties to find a place of parking nearby, after having enjoyed a local restaurant next to the Jerez cathedral, we headed to bell tower and entered the cathedral. There was not so crowded as it was a Tuesday, much more exciting than in weekends.

Simon A — Google review
Visited the Cathedral of Jerez de la Frontera. Entry fee: 8 euros — greeted by the audio guide thanking me for my “generous donation.” The cathedral is beautiful, but really, that’s it. The audio guide goes on and on in epic detail for what is, frankly, a rather small site. Nearby palace costs 5 euros and offers much more for your money. I bailed after the “most beautiful” number — stunning, but my patience (and wallet) had limits. Architecture is impressive, yes. Price-performance ratio? Not even close. Go if you must, but bring your sense of humor… and a bigger wallet.
D ( — Google review
I bought 2 tickets for a guided tour of the Cathedral (not an audio-guide but an actual human guide) believing it to be in English, but it turned out to be in Spanish. This mistake was pointed out to me by the ladies at the ticket office, who first tried to rearrange the tour for another day and then, when that wasn’t possible because of our travel plans, arranged for an English-speaking colleague of theirs to come to the Cathedral and provide the tour. Alberto, who actually works at the nearby San Miguel church, arrived within 10 minutes and delivered a superb, informative tour that lasted over 2 hours. A history graduate and self-taught English speaker, Alberto provided an enormous amount of information and insight about the Cathedral and Jerez and, considering that the Cathedral doesn’t presently provide guided tours in English and that he had about 15 minutes notice, he did an amazing job. We have been fortunate enough to enjoy guided tours in Ronda, Granada and Cordoba and Alberto’s was by far the most enjoyable - he is an asset to the organisation that looks after the Jerez monuments, and we hope that guided tours in English become a regular part of their service offering; in Alberto they have an excellent guide. Many thanks also to the ladies at the Cathedral ticket office for their patience and resourcefulness in arranging our tour and turning a negative into a huge positive experience. This was one of our highlights so far of our 15 days travelling around Andalusia.

Fortress
Sights & Landmarks

The Alcázar de Jerez de la Frontera is a Moorish castle complex that offers a glimpse into the city's rich history. The site houses Arab baths, a palace with a camera obscura, and a tower providing stunning views of the city. Visitors can explore the historic center of Jerez on guided tours, where they'll encounter remnants of Roman, Muslim, and Phoenician influences.
Fantastic alcazar with nice gardens, an old mosque/church, hamam baths and a reproduction of an ancient olive oil production machine. The cost of 5€ is nothing compared to the site itself. Definitely worth a visit!
Timur C — Google review
An amazing building but a fascinating history right in the heart of Jerez. The building features both Christian and Islamic architecture reflecting the history of the area. You can go up the tower and walk some of the walks too. All in all exceedingly good value for €5 (concessions available-ask)
M K — Google review
Amazing old fortress to visit, a must do. We went on a Wednesday at 4.30pm, and did not have to wait to enter. This gave us 1.5 hours before closing time (last entry at 5.30pm) to view the complete complex (more than enough time). The tower and bathhouse are very interesting. It takes some effort to climb the staircase to the top of the octagonal tower, but well worth it.
Simon R — Google review
I found this a really interesting historical site covering the occupation of the area by both Islamic and Christian religions. I enjoyed the architecture and the way the fortress was designed to ensure survival by harvesting rainwater and a well for water from the local aquifer.
Ian W — Google review
Well worth the visit. Cheap entrance fee for the historical lesson. The building doesn't have too much on display, could host a lot more, seems empty other than an old pharmacy display, a few paintings and quite a lot of neat posters. The real deal here is the garden and the side buildings with their history and roles on display.

Real de la Feria del Caballo is a major event in Jerez de la Frontera, where the entire city comes together for this epic celebration. The fair has its roots as a horse-trading fare and still features the buying, selling, and showcasing of Andalusian horses. However, it has evolved to include over 200 little stalls offering local food, sherry, wine, beer, traditional dancing (sevillanas), and music that lasts until the early morning hours.
Good atmosphere, compared with Sevilla's feria it is less crowded, has a wider variety of food and has more public casetas. I recommend to eat outside of feria as the prices are quite high.

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
The Church of Santa Maria is a beautiful place of worship with a magnificent cloister. Visitors can enjoy presentations, tour the bell tower and sacristy, and admire the excellent images and spectacular altarpiece inside. The exterior is currently under construction, but the interior with its three ships is truly impressive. Additionally, tourists can witness dressage and herding shows at A Campo Abierto, where brave bulls of Torrestrella and purebred horses are bred and showcased in action.
Well worth a visit. Friendly guy on tickets. Beatiful 16th century golden altarpiece. Check out devil face leering down over baptismal font. Some Latin-inscribed Roman stones were incorporated into the back doors looking over castle. Includes going up tower for spectacular views as far as Atlantic coast. Watch out for pigeons up there, clanging bells and high winds! Sensory experience!

This would be a place you stop by for half a day or maybe just a few hours. I would recommend this place as a passing kind of stop. It's small and it has a few historic sites. The church is really beautiful, make sure you check the times for going inside.
Moses P — Google review
We really liked visiting this church, it was beautiful, in a rugged way. Both the outside (I found it pretty unique and original, specially the façade) and the inside are worth visiting, and the view from the top is pretty. For 2.5€ it is a reasonable way to learn the importance this building and Medina Sidonia had, due to the fact that it was easier to defend than the coast.
Ian H — Google review
€2.50 cash entrance fee. Any church that is charging for access, is not much of a church anymore
N — Google review
(Translated by Google) 16th-century Gothic church. A beautiful church in a poor state of preservation, although one of the most beautiful I've ever visited. The altarpiece and the organ are the most notable due to their enormous amount of detail and size. Many of the church's paintings and engravings are also worth mentioning. It also has an old cloister area that can be visited. The Virgin is an element I'd like to highlight because, while I'm not a big fan of images of the Virgin, the one we find in this church is beautiful, and her facial expression strikingly depicts the pain of the scene. (Original) 📍iglesia gótica del siglo XVI. Preciosa iglesia en un mejorable estado de conservación aunque una de las más bonitas que he visitado nunca. El retablo y el órgano son lo más destacable debido a la enorme cantidad de detalles y el tamaño de estos, muchas de las pinturas y grabados de la iglesia son también dignos de mención. Cuente con una antigua zona de claustro visitable. La virgen es un elemento que me gustaría destacar ya que si bien no soy yo muy fan de las imágenes de la virgen, la que encontramos en esta iglesia es preciosa y su expresión facial muestra de manera impactante el dolor de la escena.

(Translated by Google) WARNING: Access to the bell tower, included in the €2.50 price, is closed due to exterior work on one side of the tower! But the cashier conveniently neglected to warn us before we paid, as that was the reason we wanted to visit! When I pointed this out to her as we were leaving, she replied mockingly and dismissively that the work was visible from the outside!!! I told her that just because there was scaffolding on one side didn't necessarily mean the interior access was closed and that she should have informed us!! I find this dishonest, especially in a church 🥴🤔. In fact, you're just paying to see an altarpiece!!! AT LEAST YOU WILL BE WARNED!! PLUS, INSTEAD OF APOLOGIZING, SHE'S TREATING US RUDELY! 😒 (Original) ATTENTION : l'accès au clocher, compris dans le prix de 2.50€, est fermé en raison de travaux extérieur sur une face de la tour ! Mais la caissière s'est bien gardée de nous prévenir avant de payer, car c'est ça qui nous motivait de visiter ! Quand je lui en fait la remarque en ressortant, elle m'a répondu d'un air moqueur et méprisant, que les travaux se voyaient de l'extérieur!!! Je lui ai répondu que ce n'est pas parce qu'il y avait un échafaudage sur un côté que ça signifiait obligatoirement que l'accès intérieur était fermé et qu'elle aurait dû nous en informer !! Je trouve cela malhonnête en plus, dans une église 🥴🤔. En fait, vous payez juste pour voir un retable!!! VOUS, AU MOINS, SEREZ PREVENU!! EN PLUS, AU LIEU DE S'EXCUSER, ELLE NOUS PREND DE MAUVAISE MANIÈRE !😒

(Translated by Google) Medina's main church. It's located at the highest point of the town, near the castle. You have to be willing to climb up there, but it's worth it. It has a small cloister through which you enter the church. It has three naves. The choir stalls aren't striking, as they have paintings instead of carved seats, as in other churches. The altarpiece stands out, although it's not as well preserved as it should be to look spectacular. Despite all this, it's a must-see if you travel to Medina. (Original) Iglesia principal de Medina. Está situada en lo más alto del pueblo, cerca del castillo. Hay que echar ganas de subir hasta allí, pero merece la pena. Tiene un pequeño claustro a través del que se accede a la iglesia. Consta de tres naves. El coro no es llamativo, ya que tiene cuadros en vez de estar tallados los asientos, como en otros. En su altar destaca el gran retablo, aunque no está todo lo bien conservado que debiera para lucir espectacular. A pesar de todo, es imprescindible visitarla si viajas a Medina.

I rather enjoyed our time here. You get to see some horse dressage (similar to the start of the show at the royal riding school show in Jerez, but I thought it was done better here. Clearly he had done his time at the school). The cattle, both the bulls and the oxen were of moderate interest. The best part of was the tour of the small museum where Isabella shared some of the details of bulls and bull fighting, along with her clear pride of her family’s heritage.

We enjoyed the kind hospitality offered by A Campo Abierto staff throughout the duration of our visit to the ranch. We were greeted by Patricia, a member of the Donec family who was extremely helpful and informative throughout the visit. Patricia provided a comprehensive commentary in fluent English and addressed our questions in full. An arena was used to demonstrate dressage skills followed by viewings of cows, calves and four year old fighting bulls. We learnt so much about the people, livestock and the natural environment. Being from a farming background we appreciated the stockmanship and care necessary to breed the cattle and horses. The demonstrations and visit to the museum enhanced our understanding of the role of bullfighting within Andalusian culture. The visit has inspired us to further explore Andalusian culture during our next visit to Spain. We thoroughly enjoyed this spectacular visit which concluded with a welcome sampling of A Campo Abierto sherry. Thanks to all the staff at the ranch, but especially to Patricia who is a very competent, knowledgeable tour guide and affable host. John & Roberta.

The Basílica de Santa María de la Asunción, located in Plaza del Cabildo, is a stunning church with a mix of architectural styles. Its southern facade features an elaborate 18th-century Baroque belfry, while the west side boasts a beautifully carved Plateresque doorway. The interior is a treasure trove of ornate Baroque choir stalls, intricate vaulting, and a lavish Renaissance altarpiece.
Smaller church on top of the hill and took about 10-15min from the center of the town. Slippery roads when wet but with majestic view of the valley down below. Overall we like this white village but can the residents clean up their dog poops? These land mines were everywhere.
DANNY L — Google review
This was our third visit to Arcos de la Frontera and the first time the church was open and it did not disappoint with lots of beautiful artwork and a beautiful alter. Admission was just €2. This is a late Gothic hall-church, with three naves of equal height and a monumental curved apse. The naves are separated by circular pillars made of beamed rods, supporting complex star-ribbed vaults. Although everything inside is worthy of admiration, it is worth noting the Retablo Mayor, an altarpiece which is a true Renaissance jewel; the Gothic mural painting; the uncorrupted mummy of San Felix; the Nieves chapel which houses the image of the patron of Arcos; the extravagant organ and the choir, considered one of the best in Andalusia.

This basilica is a beautiful display of how rich this region used to be during the 14 - 17th century. Almost everything here is made of gold. And the scale of the carvings and central display is huge. Additionally, the viewing tower is a definite must to see and hear. There are many bells on the top that sing every hour. And the views of the area can be captured here on the tower. Overall, this is a must visit when in Arcos.

This largely Gothic styled church was built around the 15th century. It sits atop the limestone cliffs of Arcos on Plaza del Cabildo - a square which is essentially a carpark and also the location of the Parador de Turismo. You'll be rewarded with some great views overlooking the countryside from the mirador or visit the bar in the Parador for an even better view and a refreshing drink after the steep climb to get here. If you're mobility restricted there is a small car park here and also taxis (probably the best option as the street are very narrow in places).

Zoo de Castellar

Zoo

Zoo de Castellar is not your typical zoo; it's an animal sanctuary and veterinary clinic where you can interact with a variety of rescued animals. From tigers, lions, and snakes to emus, ostriches, rabbits, monkeys, eagles, vultures, Vietnamese pigs, crocodiles, and even a hyena named Eddie. The zoo offers hands-on experiences allowing visitors to feed and pet the animals in spaces resembling their natural habitats.
Didn't expect a lot when we came up to the entrance, but fortunately we were totally wrong. Easily one the most fun zoo's we're come across. Close up, interaction, unique species, friendly staff. We visited during off season (end of may) and felt like we had the park for ourselves. Something to be aware of; food and drinks is very basic (which makes sense as it doesn't feel like a tourist trap) so don't arrive too hungry :)

Shocking conditions!! Never in my life have I ever been to a zoo that made me feel so sad for the animals inside it. Tiny cages, the poor lions with nothing to look at, most animals had no water. Normally zoos abroad are far better than the uk but this was plain awful. Dirty glass, toilets filthy and door locks broken. Paid £52 euros and I wish I hadn’t. I feel for those poor animals they deserve better
Caroline B — Google review
Always have had mixed feelings about zoos And circuses, but from what I understand people need to go to this zoo to support them because it's more like a sanctuary in that they've saved these animals from smugglers and or owners who bought them and couldn't take care of them properly. Just hate seeing all the small enclosures for all of these living creatures... But it's an excellent place to take young children to show them up close and personal all the different animals that live on our planet. They even sell animal food, so the children can feed the smaller safer animals... Here I'm actually holding a Spanish Imperial Eagle, and then the second photo is a white wallaby, and the third one is of capybaras.

Amazing! We were a bit sceptical even having read the positive reviews (we've been to quite a lot zoos), but the expreciene was totally worth it!

Zoo Review – Great Experience Overall The zoo has an amazing variety and number of residents — you can see so many animals in a small and well-organized space. It’s compact, full of trees and shade, which makes walking around very pleasant. However, there are quite a few steps, so it might be a bit tricky if you’re visiting with a stroller. Some animals seem a little unhappy, but sadly that’s something we often see in zoos. The staff are very friendly and speak English, which is a big plus. There’s no official parking area — cars park in a nearby field, which isn’t flat, so be careful with your car’s underbody. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth a visit.
MariaN W — Google review
Some areas of the zoo are amazing, enclosures are horrible though… for the amount of money the public pay they should be bigger. The black panther was pacing and had no enrichment whatsoever. My partner has been visiting the zoo for at least 10 years and claims no improvements have been made. We also spotted a dead owl before staff did and had to inform them, apparently there was no obvious cause of death.

Ticket of the pool a bit expensive 15€. However, once you get in there F&B is not expensive. Awesome place but people quite posh (quite common in this region of Spain). This is the only reason I do not give 5 stars

The pool (which is lovely) had just closed when we got there late September and they would not let people use it - pity they'd not bothered to tell us that when we booked - it was still roasting. Breakfast was, well, basic to say the least. They feature private parking but as far as I could see you took pot luck. Not a particularly nice area.. Indeed the best thing about it - had it been open would have been the pool and bar. Room was ok, had working air-conditioning but otherwise nothing special.

(Translated by Google) Yesterday I went to celebrate my birthday there. I've been there many times for drinks, so I decided to try the food. We made a reservation the day before at 9:30 p.m., so they had a capacity estimate. After ordering our food, it took over an hour to bring us a dish. They brought out uneven plates, leaving some diners without anything to eat while others got cold ones. We complained twice, but nothing came of it! It took over two and a half hours to finish dinner, so it was midnight from 9:30 p.m., when we sat down at our table, and we couldn't have an after-dinner drink because it was getting so late that many of us had to work the next morning. They prioritized tables that had just arrived, and when we complained, their response was, "There were more tables and more dishes to be served besides your table." When we arrived, there were only two other tables. Terrible service, I wouldn't go back. Regarding the food... the sushi was good, it's the only good thing this review is going to have, but it was very expensive for the amount served. As for the burgers, we didn't like them at all. The meat was enormous and super compact, taking away all the flavor from the rest of the ingredients. And the size was super small for that price, nothing like what you see in the photo. We also ordered the Cajun chicken, and aside from the fact that it could be greatly improved, for €10 they give you a tiny plate of chicken. With the sushi, they made a mistake twice, bringing the wrong one, after the tireless wait. The whole thing was €180. Honestly, it's not worth it and it's not worth it. Too expensive to have left hungry!!! The waitresses were unprofessional and unfriendly. They didn't even look when you raised your hand to order something. Anyway, they ruined my birthday. We paid a fortune to leave hungry, and we were left without a drink, which is what really makes the place worth it. It's a shame, because you've lost seven customers. (Original) Ayer fui a celebrar mi cumpleaños allí. He estado muchas veces tomando copas allí, asique decidí probar la comida. Reservamos el día de antes a las 21:30, por lo que tenían previsión de aforo. Tras pedir la comida, tardaron mas de 1 hora en traernos un plato. Los traían dispares, haciendo que algunos de los comensales se quedasen sin comer nada mientras que a los otros se les quedaba frío. Reclamamos 2 veces y apenas dio fruto! Tardamos mas de 2 horas y media en poder terminar de cenar, por lo que nos dieron las 12 de la noche desde las 21:30 que nos sentamos en mesa y no nos pudimos tomar una copa después de la cena porque al hacerse tan tarde, muchos trabajábamos a la mañana siguiente. Priorizaron mesas que acababan de llegar y cuando reclamábamos su respuesta fue que “es que había mas mesas y mas platos por servir aparte de vuestra mesa”. Cuando nosotros llegamos había 2 mesas mas únicamente. Lamentable servicio, no volvería a repetir. Respecto a la comida… el sushi estaba bueno, es lo único bueno que va a tener esta reseña, pero muy elevado de precio para la cantidad que trae. Respecto a las hamburguesas, no nos gustaron nada. La carne enorme y super compacta, quitando todo el sabor del resto de ingredientes. Y el tamaño super pequeño para ese precio, nada que ver con lo que se ve en la foto. Pedimos además el pollo cajún y aparte de que muy mejorable, por 10€ te ponen un platito minúsculo de pollo. Con el sushi se equivocaron dos veces trayendo uno que no era, después de la incansable espera. Todo 180€. La verdad que no los vale y no merece la pena. Carísimo para haber salido con hambre!!! Las camareras poco profesionales y antipáticas. Ya ni miraban cuando levantabas la mano para pedir algo. En fin, arruinaron mi cumpleaños, pagamos una millonada por salir con hambre y nos quedamos sin tomar la copa que es lo que realmente merece la pena del sitio. Una pena, porque habéis perdido 7 clientes.

Ocuri Archaeological Site

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The archaeological site of Ocuri in Ubrique offers guided tours by knowledgeable and passionate guides who provide excellent explanations. The site, which was unfortunately pillaged in the 18th century, still has surviving foundations, walls, cisterns and a surprisingly intact mausoleum or Columbarium. Visitors are urged to watch the video interpretation for better understanding. Highlights of the Roman settlement include the cyclopean wall, thermal baths and mausoleum.
I visited Ocuri (just outside Ubrique, in the Sierra de Grazalema) a couple of days ago and loved the location and the guide Isabel! She knows a lot and is very enthusiastic. We did a tour in Spanish, so I can’t say how an English would be. Only 10% of the old Roman city has been discovered until so far. Which means that there is still so much more to discover! I am already looking forward to return in a couple of years🥰. So I definitely recommend a visit to this archeological site when you visit the Sierra de Grazalema in Andalucia! By the way, if you are interested in Roman sites, you should also visit Baelo Claudia (Costa de la Luz) and Acinipo (near Ronda)…
Ria P — Google review
We had visited the Ocuri site last year while it was closed. However, we made it a priority on our visit to Spain this time. Booking online is easy and very prompt, we received confirmation within 12 hours. The visit and escorted tour is exceptional Isabel our guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative.

I went to enquire about bookings for the 23/ 24th October but unfortunately it was fully booked for a group of students. The two ladies at the reception were lovely, friendly, spoke english, and were very accommodating. She took my details in case there were any cancellations. Apparently, October/ November are their busy months. Such a shame, not to get tickets for the day but given the popularity, Always book in advance.

Amazing iberan and roman ruins that tell the ancient history of the region. The experience is great: you can join a 2 hour long guided tour every morning to climb up the area where the old city of Ocuri lays. After a short walk up the mountain, where the necropolis and the old roman pathway are found, you get to an ancient stone wall first built by the iberan people and expanded by the roman people. Then you get into the rest of the city proper: the baths, the forum and several houses and water wells have been discovered already, but there is an amazing amount of ruins that still lay waiting for their time to see the light again. All in all, visiting this place brings the oportunity to picture a small bit of the old ages. Acompanied by our kind guide Isabel, the tales both of the ancient times and of how these ruins were discovered are enlightnening and fun.

Roger U — Google review
This was a wonderful experience. It is named for the Roman city, but its origins date all the way back to 6th century BC. Our archaeologist guide was happy and energetic; it was easy to see that she loves to share the history. It is an exciting time to visit, as investigations and discoveries are still ongoing.
Jai J — Google review
Our guide, Inma, spoke excellent English and had a good knowledge of Roman history in the area. The visit was worth it just for her input. Sadly the site was pillaged by its original owner back in the 18th century. However the foundations, some walls and cisterns survive. The mausoleum or Columbarium is, unusually, still intact. Make sure you catch the video interpretation, it puts everything into perspective.

We had a great experience with Jo and her amazing horses. Communication was good and Jo guided us to the stables well. She listened to our experiences of riding and matched us well with her horses. The trek had stunning views in the mountains and we stopped to take a lovely photo! Will definitely return when back in Casares Thank you to Jo and her team ❤️

We (2 adults, 2 teenagers) had an excellent trail ride with Jo and her horses. We were well matched to the horses and got riding tips. The countryside is beautiful, our route had fabulous views. The horses are well cared for and enjoy their work. Jo and her team were friendly and helpful in every aspect. Comfortable helmets are provided, the horses’ bridles and saddles are in good condition for safe riding. It’s an easy and pretty drive from Estepona. Highly recommended.

We had the best time riding with Jo! (A family ranging from 40 to 13) Jo matched everyone up to a horse based on experience and explained to each one of us the horses personalities so we could all have a comfortable ride.

Horses are very well trained, my friend feel nervous since it was her first time and after few minutes at the saddle, it goes away. We truly had fun and definitely recommended it with our friends in Gibraltar. Lastly, we even see Gibraltar rock along the trail.

My favorite place to go horse riding! I have been riding with Jo for the past 10 years, and I still come back every time I am in the area! I love going on both fast rides with experienced riders and on more relaxed rides with people without any experience. The horses are well taken care of and all have their own unique personalities which Jo expertly matches to each rider. I have taken countless family members and friends over the years and they love riding here as much as I do! The views and nature during the rides are amazing. Cannot recommend this place enough for both people with and without experience!

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Castillo de Casares, located in the Province of Malaga, is a must-visit castle offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. This defensive castle dates back to the 13th century and was once an Arab stronghold providing panoramic views of the countryside, Algeciras, and Gibraltar. Despite being in ruins, it remains a prominent point of interest in Casares. The village itself is a unique destination with its white-painted houses and narrow streets of Moorish design.
Beautiful castle ruins, and a stunning, quaint white Andalusian town. Lovely people, beautiful view points, amazing experience.

What a treat. .It's a beautiful whitewashed town, built on an escarpment and an outcrop... it seems to hang there, defying gravity. The plethora of the cubist buildings, appear to connect block by block into a maze of multilevel, zigzagging angular streets, with a wonderful aspect across the nearby mountains and valleys. This town is well worth a days visit.

Short drive from Sabinillas or Casares Costa Golf y Country club. Park your car at the bottom (the very bottom) and walk up. Casares is clean, beautiful and incredibly rich with history. I liked the evening walk most as people come out and relax, the sun plays off the mountains. What's not to love? I love Spain.

Parasailing & Paragliding
We had an amazing week at FlySpain on the Mentor Plus program. The combination of professionalism, stunning locations, and excellent instruction made this an unforgettable experience. Fred and Marcelo, our instructors, were absolutely fantastic. They provided comprehensive theoretical explanations and practical guidance, ensuring every flight was a step forward in learning and confidence building. One of the most memorable highlights of the week was flying in thermals alongside majestic vultures. It was a breathtaking and surreal experience, feeling so connected to nature while mastering new flying techniques. The flying sites selected were spectacular and well-suited to all levels, offering a mix of challenges and stunning views. The entire FlySpain team created an incredibly supportive and safe environment, which allowed us to focus on improving our skills and truly enjoy the experience. If you’re looking for a professional and welcoming paragliding club in Spain, FlySpain is the place to go. Highly recommended for anyone passionate about paragliding or wanting to take their skills to the next level

This is my third time back with FlySpain. Just completed a MentorPlus and CrossCountry courses, and again excellent! Great and knowledgeable staff. Made every effort to get us in the air but, also with respect to the weather and skill levels, kept it safe. Fred, Paolo, Rob and Nik with there decades of experience were fantastic instructors/guides. Went to a variety of locations based on conditions. Even a shuttle pick up and drop off from Malaga Airport is included! Excellent prices and accommodations are included as part of the course. Just a 10 minute walk to town for restaurants and groceries. Hope to be back again FlySpain!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FlySpain BHPA CP Course Review I completed my BHPA CP Paragliding course with FlySpain and couldn’t recommend them more highly. Instructors Fred and Rob were exceptional throughout. They struck a great balance between structure and flexibility, keeping safety at the core while adapting to each pilot’s level and confidence. Their pragmatic approach stood out. Those of us with a bit more experience were encouraged to progress faster and try more challenging tasks, while others received the extra guidance and coaching they needed. It created a supportive atmosphere where everyone could develop at their own pace without pressure or delay. The week was well organised, the equipment was in top condition, and the site offered a perfect range of conditions for learning. By the end, I felt genuinely confident flying independently, something that’s a credit to how Fred and Rob teach. If you’re considering learning to paraglide or completing your CP, FlySpain is a superb choice.

Rob, Dylan, Fred, Marcello, and Paolo are incredible instructors — professional, patient, and fully committed to helping every student get the best out of the course. The safety standards are top-tier, and it’s clear how much time and effort goes into every aspect of the training. Great accommodation and a friendly, supportive community made it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend.

I did the EP course here in late September/early October. The course and instructors were great and the accommodation was very pleasant to stay in. I would happily come here again for further training! It was also very enjoyable and informative being able to socialise with other paragliders who were staying in the same accommodation but doing different training.

This is my second time coming to Algodonales to do a course with FlySpain. I was on the Mentor Plus with Paolo and Dylan. I really enjoyed my time, despite being a group with varying airtime and experience the instructors made sure they catered to everyone’s abilities. Dylan and Paolo are very safety conscious, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. I got a lot out of the week and was able to be pushed of my comfort zone because I felt so safe and seen (they always had eyes on us and were on the radio whenever it was needed). The instructors were open to my many questions and always had answers and ways to explain things so I could understand. My highlight was having my first thermalling flights! For a travelling dirt bag like myself the price is at my limit of my budget, but I believe it is worth it for the quality of the course, instructors and accomodation. The whole team is amazing. I would recommend this school to my friends and hope to be back again one day. Much love, thanks team!
Scarlett M — Google review
My son and I have just returned from two weeks with FlySpain in Algodonales doing back to back EP and CP courses and to sum everything up in two words: SIMPLY FANTASTIC. We could not have asked for more. Our instructors, Marcelo, Julio, Fred & Dylan overseen by Rob, were all absolutely top draw. We could not have wanted for a more comprehensive, safe, teaching environment with great kit and weather. Nothing was too much trouble and every effort was made to create and enjoyable balance of theory and flying, resulting in some epic soaring flights, including nearly two hours at sunset over El Bosque. To cap things off, we stayed in FlySpain’s accommodation “The Eagle’s nest”, a very comfortable cluster of houses equipped with all mod cons, with outside terraces and pool, five minutes walk from the centre of Algo’ and its cafes and bars. Finally, a shout out to Nic, who clearly works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep the show on the road and makes all of the organisation seem effortless. Truly an exceptional experience and thank you FlySpain for the life changing memories! I cannot recommend them enough.

Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda

Mentioned on

Bullring
Sights & Landmarks
The Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda is a historic 18th-century bullring associated with legendary matador Pedro Romero. Located in the heart of Ronda, it is one of the oldest bullfighting arenas still in use and represents an important aspect of Andalusian and Spanish culture. The Corrida Goyesca show, held between late August and early September, attracts numerous visitors.
The Plaza de Toros heritage site of the RMR is one of the most visited cultural complexes in Andalusia with more than nine million visitors in the last ten years. Excellent architecture and location. The Plaza de Toros de Ronda is a bullring in Ronda, it has a diameter of 66 metres (217 ft), surrounded by a passage formed by two rings of stone. There are two layers of seating, each with five raised rows and 136 pillars that make up 68 arches. The Royal Box has a sloping roof covered in Arabic tiles. The design of the main entrance to the bull ring features two Tuscan columns and the royal shield of Spain surround by baroque edging. The main door is large enough to allow horses and carriages to enter the ring, and above the door is an iron wrought balcony that embodies the bullfighting culture.

Visiting the Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda was one of the highlights of our trip. Even if you’re not a fan of bullfighting, the place is worth seeing for its history and architecture. Standing in the middle of the arena feels surreal, and the museum collections with costumes, saddles and antique weapons are really impressive. Easy to visit, and right in the heart of Ronda’s old town, definitely a stop we recommend. Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴🐾

Great experience. Very rich and interesting history. The museum is very interesting. Bull fighting isn't exactly a good thing (in my opinion it's a bit cruel) however the experience was amazing and it is an important part of their history. The ring was also used as an army base by either side during the Spanish Civil war.

Puente Nuevo. Centro de Interpretación

Mentioned on 
+128 other lists 
Tourist information center
Sights & Landmarks
Puente Nuevo, or New Bridge, is a remarkable 18th-century arch bridge that spans a 120-meter chasm in Ronda. It connects the modern part of the city to the historic center and offers stunning views of the River Guadalevin. The bridge is part of a walking tour that includes other significant landmarks such as El Mercadillo and La Ciudad. Despite its name, Puente Nuevo is not actually new; it was completed between 1759 and 1793.
Spectacular views and vibrant atmosphere—an unforgettable highlight of Ronda Puente Nuevo is absolutely breathtaking and a must-see when visiting Ronda. The views from the bridge—both day and night—are spectacular, offering sweeping vistas of the gorge and surrounding valley. It's a stunning spot for photos and a peaceful place to just take in the natural beauty and architecture. The area around the bridge is lively and full of charm, with plenty of tapas restaurants (more than a dozen!) offering delicious food and great views. Many have outdoor seating, making it the perfect place to relax, enjoy a drink, and soak up the atmosphere. There are also several hiking options nearby, with trails that lead down into the gorge or along the cliffside for different perspectives of the bridge. Whether you're just strolling the old town or exploring the paths below, Puente Nuevo is a constant and dramatic presence in the landscape. This spot is just as magical at night when the bridge is beautifully lit—romantic, quiet, and unforgettable. A definite 5-star experience and a highlight of any trip to Ronda.

This is a very impressive bridge! We paid 5 Euros to go down into the room inside the bridge and thought that was a very cool experience. Outside, it is a bit difficult to get a really good view of the bridge without getting a bit far away from it (you need more than the hour or so that we had), but we still enjoyed the views, especially the scenic views looking out at the cliffs and valleys below. Worth a visit, especially if you have time to explore a bit farther back from the bridge!

The bridge is amazing and home to very nice views. What they don't tell you is that it is in use and very busy with cars. But still, there are vantage points so you can take great pictures. There is also a payed experience that lets you in a certain part of the bridge and it was nice to feel a bit of fresh air. I cannot really recommend the payed experience, sure at 2,50 euros is not expensive but there isn't much to see.

1 hour 30 minutes from Marbella it's worth going for the puento nuevo bridge over the gorge. I spent 3 hours there and that was just right. Very touristy however it's a lovely town and a good day out for a group and if you sit and eat/drink then you will need about 5 hours. So it's a worthwhile day out.

An absolutely breathtaking landmark! Puente Nuevo in Ronda is truly a masterpiece of architecture and nature combined. The views from the bridge are simply stunning, especially with the dramatic gorge and surrounding cliffs. It’s one of those places that leaves you speechless and makes you appreciate the blend of history and natural beauty. A must-see if you’re anywhere near Ronda — unforgettable and iconic.

Perched above the breathtaking El Tajo gorge, Ronda is a stunning city in southern Spain. Its iconic Puente Nuevo bridge offers breathtaking views, while the Aldehuela Viewpoint. It provide panoramic vistas of the city and its surroundings. Explore the historic old town, visit the Plaza de Toros, and enjoy the serene Alameda del Tajo Gardens. Ronda’s unique blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty makes it a must-visit destination.

El Tajo de Ronda is an iconic Spanish city known for its location straddling the El Tajo Gorge and as the birthplace of bullfighting. The former Moorish bastion has attracted famous visitors like Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles, offering adventurous vistas and picturesque narrow streets. The town is divided by a hundred-meter-deep gorge, crossed by the historic Puente Nuevo bridge built in the 18th century.
This is a wonderful place. So romantic, breathtaking and quite peaceful and relaxing! The bridge is a great work of architecture built on the rocks. I cannot believe it I am seeing this wonder! You have to experience this in person at least once in your life.

Ronda is absolutely magical, especially at sunset – it feels like stepping into a fairytale. The views are breathtaking and definitely worth experiencing. I highly recommend visiting the viewpoint under the famous bridge – it offers a unique perspective and stunning scenery. The entrance costs €5 per person, and it’s worth every cent!

Historical & Landmark Bridge in the heart of Ronda This is a super impressive bridge, best seen from below. The walk into the canyon is very nice but can be quite tiring. Not recommended on a summer day (although we did it). The reason is that views are really worth it. Highly recommended visit!

Ronda is a small but beautiful place to visit. Lots of history, check out if they have any festivals on for the dates you are visiting . When we where there everyone was dressed ini Victorian costumes and there was some kind of food festival on. I recommend visiting the tourist information office, because there are hidden gems in the town. Ronda Bridge is a must see and there is a viewing platform part way down the cliff face but it is chargeable .Go down past this and you will get the best view. We stayed on the aire of the El SUR Campground. REALY CLEAN and well laid out. 19€ for the aire 29€ for the campground we stayed 2days

One of the best sights in Spain. The deep gorge and the height of the bridge is magnificent. The views on both sides of the bridge make this an must visit when in Ronda.

"I searched for the Dream City everywhere and found it here, at Ronda". -Rainer Maria Rilke There's nothing to say. You have to go. It's a once in a lifetime view

Went off high season, so was reasonably accessible. Otherwise, I can imagine it gets extremely crowded. Parking close by is almost impossible to find unless very early. Views are incredible, though, and the bridge itself is a marvel. When there, make sure to visit the museum and the viewpoints, well worth the walk down and up the path.

The Arab Baths Archaeological Site, also known as Banos Arabes, is a well-preserved 13th-century bathhouse located in the San Miguel neighborhood of Ronda. The baths were supplied with water from the Las Culebras stream through a sophisticated Moorish water system. The complex includes cold, warm, and hot bathing rooms, with the central room featuring horseshoe arches and barrel-vaulted ceilings adorned with star-shaped skylights.
This is a very well preserved archaeological site with a really good short video presentation that explains exactly how the baths worked.

Very cool too see the baths, very well preserved and kept. There was a very informative video being played in English and Spanish that explained how the baths worked and their purpose clearly. Gardens were a bit bare but still nice on a warm afternoon.

A very awesome historical place It cost 4,50 eu pr adult. But worth it and then you get to support the upkeep of the city's historical sits

This is a must if you visit Ronda. Watch the 10min video with the 3D animation before you go around the site - gives a clear understanding of how the baths were supplied with water and heat, and the role the baths played in ancient times.

Spectacular step into deep history, a fine introductory video to show the workings and purpose of bathing the Muslim way, then we could walk around and really get a feel for the place. Beautiful gardens too! We were extra impressed at the outside information boards which were, get this, hand carved from cork!

OK for a quick visit. It’s way at the bottom of the hill and it’s a long walk back to the top. If you are tired after a long day exploring Ronda you can safely give this place a miss. But otherwise it’s OK for a quick tour of say 30 minutes.
