Ronda Travel Forum

We are 5 people traveling from Sevilla to Granada. We want to rent a car IN Ronda to drive down to Jubrique for a couple of days in September. It looks like AutoRonda doesn't have a car quite big enough and I can't find any solid information on Rent-a Car-Velasco or Plinoscar, both of which come up on Google as being in Ronda. Does anyone have any experience or ideas.

It's too far down to Malaga and we don't want to have to loop back to Sevilla.
thanks

I'm wanting to travel from Malaga to Ronda by bus or by train.
Can someone let me know number of buses/trains per day and if possible details of timetables.
I'd be travelling in March on a Saturday, probably after midday.

Also, if you know links from Ronda to Cordoba as well, that would be great as I think that will be the next leg of my trip.

Thanks,

We are looking for a flat we could rent in central Ronda (although we would consider the surrounding area), initially for the weekend 6/7th December, but possibly again during the new year. We are thinking of moving to the area and want to get to know it.

Also does anyone has any information/recommendation on the schools, if there are 'catchment' areas etc.

Thank you

Ok, so we live in the stone ages! But we don't have a credit card and need to hire a car. Can anyone think of a way around this problem? Quickly?!

Hi, does anyone know of a car hire place in Ronda? I've tried googling but have so far only come up with the major cities, and although we're flying to Seville we'd rather take public transport as far as Ronda if we can.
Thanks!

I was in Rhonda about 3 years ago and bought some shoes at a shoe store diagonally across from the bull fight ring....I believe the name of the store is La Bomba...I have been trying to find a web site. Does anyone know if they have a website perhaps a phone number for them?

Thanks....Tricia

Hi,

We land in Málaga and rented a "Smart"-car to drive to Ronda and other white villages. Will this car be sufficient?

Thanks!!

I have been informed that i can get a train from San Roque to Ronda but no trains show in July
Do they stop running in the summer or it is a Renfe error ?

Hi.

I was wondering if Ronda has street parking? Is it safe? I will be near the San Francisco hotel. 15 Euros a night for internal hotel parking is the alternative, which is quite steep. Thanks for your help!

In terms of getting from Malaga to Ronda, do the various bus companies follow different routes? We would love to take the most scenic route if possible. Also, has anyone found the train journey to be more scenic than the bus?

Hi,

I would need a nice clean hotel 45 Euros or less in Ronda or maximum 10 km away. Anyone? This would be for a few days in the first week of June.

Thank you!

We are renting a house in Gaucin for one week, March 17 - 24. we are arriving by train from Cordoba. I'm having zero luck finding a car rental that will deliver the car to Gaucin and pick up one week later which I would expect to pay for. Can anyone help me? It looks like we could get off the train in /ronda if we had to, rent a car and then drive to Gaucin. Do the following in reverse the next Saturday and catch the train to Granada. Help! Jimmy

We are traveling from Granada to Ronda then on to Seville. Has anyone stayed at the San Gabriel in Ronda and the Hotel Alminar in Seville? Your feeback will be appreciated.

We recently visited Ronda and bought a bull fighting poster from the gift shop at the bullring. I would like to purchase some more and have them sent to Australia, can you help me please?

Hi,

I'll be stopping en-route in Ronda on the way to Sevilla. Can anyone give me some advice on whether should I just stay overnight, or should I extend it to 2 nights?

Any comments?
Thanks!

I am planning my holidays to Andalucia between 29/8 ~ 9/9. I am thinking to include Ronda. I heard that there are nice areas to walk around like a gorge and a national park.

I would like to stay 2/3 days in Ronda if it is possible to join a guided group (preferably hikers in 20~40) for one or two days long walks (and spend a day to see the city).

Is any company or meeting place that you can join a group on the day and go for a walk around? Are also walking excursions in the 'white villages' based in Ronda? What about costs?

I do not speak Spanish (speek only English and Greek).

Any help is welcome.

I have read its easier to get to Ronda from Sevilla via bus--if so, does anyone know where I can get copies of the bus schedules?? Thanks!

Is there a direct bus from Fuengirola to Ronda?
Or do the buses leave directly from Marbella and malaga?

In addition how long would it take?

Thanks

Travelling to Gaucin in June on public transport, coming from Granada.
How easy is it to get from Ronda to the village Gaucin? Are there frequent busses between these places? Where can I find a timetable?

My daughter and I will be stopping in Ronda on our way to a self-catered apartment. We want to buy some basic groceries for our stay. Anyone know of stores and locations of them in Ronda? Thanks

I will be taking the train from Granada to Ronda and then planning to go from Ronda to Sevilla. I have been looking for ways to do this but can't find information anywhere. Is this possible?? Will be using trains and buses.

Please advice, Thank You.

I was in Ronda this summer, and I wanted to ask...

Why do the signs say "STOP" on them?! Why don't they have it in Spanish? I met only 4 people in Spain who spoke English, and yet their stop sign is in English!

Hello, new member here, seeking advice regarding booking hotel Enfrente Arte, Ronda for April 2006. No booking firms accepting these dates. Can this hotel be booked direct? If so do you have the phone number? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Patriciajl.

We will NOT rent a car. So is it easier to take a day trip to Ronda from 1) Seville or 2) Granada? By A) train or B) bus?

Thanks for any advice!

I'll be in Rota working for two weeks in June. During the weekend I was thinking of going to Ronda and/or Arcos de la Frontera. Arcos is fairly close to Rota and seems to be an easy day trip. Ronda looks to be 100km or so from Rota. Assuming a 2-hour drive to get there, is a day enough to spend there or should I think about staying over night?

Would Arcos be a better bet...perhaps less crowded since it's not as big on tourists' lists of places to go?

Hi, we are going to visit Cordoba and Ronda in July and thinking of taking a bus. Since I can't search the bus schedule from Cordoba to Ronda, can you tell me the bus schedule, the journey time and price otherwise we have to go back to Sevilla then take a bus to Ronda instead.

Thank you so much for your help.

Traveling with 13 y/o son this summer, first time in Espana. Driving from Tarifa/Gibraltar to Ronda. My son tends to get carsick- sounds like winding road but how much so? Other ways. Leave son behind (kidding)?
Also, best route (and approx. time) to drive from Ronda to Granada.
Thanks!
