★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,072 reviews · 9 hours · from $65

Travel from central Malaga to two of Andalusia’s most unusual towns. You’ll tour Ronda’s old center, New Bridge, and bullring museum with a Spanish and English-speaking guide, then have time to explore Setenil de las Bodegas. Guides such as Antonio, Eduardo, and Carmen are praised for clear explanations and careful organization.

“An amazing and worthwhile day trip. Sentinel is a must see destination with an option to take a small ‘train’ to the Village centre. (Cash only, which caught us out) but only an easy 10 minute walk. The guided walking tour option was the best part of Ronda as we learnt and discovered so much more about the town and its bull fighting history. Highly recommend this tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,616 reviews · 1 day · from $18

Walk through Nerja’s enormous chambers at your own pace with a phone-based audio guide, then visit the museum and a 360º virtual reality room showing life 35,000 years ago. Expect stairs, dim walkways, and a cool, atmospheric visit suited to visitors who can walk independently.

“If you don't see anything else in Nerja you must see the Caves! They are truly magnificent, huge chamber with 20m ceilings and huge stalictites hanging down meeting with huge staligmites growing up! The walk is relatively easy if you are able bodied, but lots of steps and walkways, well lit and ample photo opportunitys. We spent just over a hour inside the cave, take a jumper just in case, but unlikely you'll need it. We came back to the surface and had a beer in the restaurant whilst enjoying the view out over the village and Mediterranean Sea, all in all great value for money. Highly recommend.”
