View from Plaza Pruna

Highlight • Viewpoint

The plaza is less crowded than other viewpoints such as the Mirador de la Alameda or the Puente Nuevo, making it an ideal place for quiet moments and relaxation. Plaza Bruna is a hidden gem in Ronda. With its peaceful atmosphere and stunning views of the gorge and the countryside, it is an ideal place for those who want to experience the beauty of the region away from the main tourist crowds.

Cat Cave

Highlight • Cave

This wonderful place has been declared a Natural Monument and with good reason. It is a cave with a natural waterfall that marks the outlet of the Guadiaro river after its channel hides inside the rock, traveling through caves and underground galleries for almost 4 km from the site known as Hundidero del Gato upstream. Here you will also find a picnic area and benches that make it the ideal place for a break and appreciate this wonderful environment. Take care and respect the indications, it is forbidden to enter the cave.

Guadiaro Valley

Highlight • Gorge

It is a beautiful and boxed-in valley shaped by the Guadiaro River. There are three routes that follow the riverbed: the road, the railway line and the trail. All three highly recommended.
The trail can be done with a gravel bike, although at some point you have to dismount. So if you have come this far with a bike that is willing to ride dirt trails, I recommend it as an option to this road.

Puerto de Encinas Borrachas

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The port of Encinas Borrachas, located at an altitude of 1,000 metres, is famous for being the natural border between the Genal valley and Ronda. Near the port are the dolmens of Montero and Encinas Borrachas, both of which are more than 6,000 years old.

Júzcar, the Blue Village

Highlight • Settlement

All of the town's house facades and even the church were whitewashed blue for the filming of the film "The Smurfs" in 2011. In a vote towards the end of the year, residents were asked whether the houses should remain blue or should be returned to their original white condition. 33 residents voted for the color white, 141 residents for blue. This means that Júzcar will remain blue and is considered the first Smurfs' village in the world. Definitely worth a visit, is located in the middle of the mountains on a slope.
