Over the years, we’ve visited Ronda many times when exploring the best places in the south of Spain. In fact, every time we visit the wider Malaga region, we’ve made the trip to Ronda. It’s an incredible and historic city that’s so stunning.

So, to help you get the most out of your time in the city, I’m sharing our top places to see while visiting Ronda. Have an amazing time exploring the south of Spain.  

1.) Plaza de Toros (Bullring)

 Situated right within the heart of historic Ronda, Plaza de Toros dates back to the 1700s and is incredible to see. Not only that, it’s the largest bullring in all of Spain. 

Once here, head around on a self-guided tour of the bullring and explore its history, the museum and the bullring itself. Visits take around 90 minutes and it’s well worth visiting in the morning or late afternoon when the sun is a little more bearable. 

Oh, and don’t forget to spot the Real Maestranza armoury that’s in the museum. It’s so interesting, especially, if you’re like me and don’t know too much about the local history. 

Afterwards, book this organic olive oil tasting tour in Ronda that’s so much fun. You’ll be taken through the journey of Spanish olive oil and even go inside the oil mill itself. Tours take around 90 minutes and we loved it.
