“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!”

But I was disappointed when l hear tickets being sold on the bus at the start of the day direct to Viajes Julia for just 33 euros!!! I thought buying, before hand, on the web was suppose to be cheaper?? As Viajes Julia shop was a few meters from my hotel I wished I had gone direct, so not being charged an extra 12 euros by your good-selves. Susan Shuker”

“The grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed walking around to see all the views but it was disappointing that there was no production going on and we didn't get to see most of the equipment that was below where we were sitting. Also, I didn't get why the "museum" part downstairs was so dark. It made it really hard to walk around since it was almost too dark to see where you were going ad the darkness did not add anything to the ambiance of the museum.”
