View general from Ronda

The most enjoyable way of driving to Seville from the Costa del Sol is via Ronda, taking a series of minor roads, in excellent condition due to a recent road improvement programme. This route takes you through some of the most beautiful countryside in Andalucia, where red poppies bloom in spring, and the sunflower fields ripen in early summer. See our Itineraries.

The spectacular train journey from Algeciras and San Roque to Ronda follows the plunging valley of the River Guadiaro, in sections so impenetrable that there are few roads. The extraordinary history of this railway line is described in "The train in Spain leaves the plain" by Sue Wolk.
