Join a small group to visit one of the loveliest and most historical town of Andalucia - Ronda. See the oldest in Spain bullring, walk through famous “white streets” while admiring feudal
House of Don Bosco and the Mondragon Palace - the old residence of the
Moorish Taifa family, situated on the bank of the river Tajo.
You will be picked up from your hotel at 8:45 am and leave on 1.5-hour drive to Ronda. Ronda is situated in a very mountainous area about 750 meters above the sea level. The Guadalevín River runs through the city, dividing it in two and carving out the steep, 100 plus meters deep El Tajo canyon upon which the city perches. Around the city are remains of prehistoric settlements dating to the Neolithic Age, including the rock paintings of Cueva de la Pileta.
Upon arrival the first stop of this tour will be the Plaza de Toros de Ronda (bullring). The arena has a diameter of 66 meters (217 feet), surrounded by a passage formed by two rings of stone. Ronda's bullring, due to its history and architecture, to its character and beauty, is recognized as one of the oldest of Spain, and also as one the most monumental existing bullrings. Then, you will visit House of St. John Bosco. This modern palace, built in 20th century is located at the Tajo's edge, at the heart of the historical city quarter of Ronda. It has a nice courtyard.
During this tour you will have some free time to have lunch (not included). At the end of the tour you will visit Mondragon Palace - recently renovated and partially modernized remnants of what once was the palace of the Moorish ruler Abbel Mallek, or Abomelic, son of the king of Morocco. The palace is small with some remained details, like Mudejar ceilings, some original tiling, and inner courtyards. The best feature, however, is the remaining water gardens, miniatures of the Generalife at Granada. The upper floor houses the town museum and a permanent display of local natural history, and the building's remaining space is a home to Ronda's main languages school. After visit to Mondragon Palace you will drive back to Seville.
