Hotel occupancy in Ronda during Holy Week was 85%

Ronda has reaffirmed its tourist appeal during Holy Week, achieving an average hotel occupancy rate of 85%, with peaks of 90% on main days; and more than 60,000 visitors, a number lower compared to the same period in 2025, but, in contrast, as assessed by the councilor for Tourism and head of the municipal company Tourism of Ronda, Ángel Martínez; "overnight stays and average spending per tourist have been maintained."

“We have had a brilliant and full Holy Week, in which all the brotherhoods have been able to parade in the streets,” pointed out the municipal delegate who reviewed this Tuesday the Major Week, along with the councilor for Citizen Security, Alicia López.

“Day by day, from March 28 to April 5, we have had an average of over 8,000 visitors per day. The balance, as I say, is very positive, with high hotel occupancy, a notable influx of visitors, and overall good performance of the destination in one of the most important periods of the year,” Martínez noted.

Regarding the origin, 51.81% are from the domestic market; and the rest (48.19%), from international markets. Notably, from the domestic market, Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, and Málaga stand out; and from the international market, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, and the United States.

Lastly, Martínez expressed his gratitude to everyone who made Holy Week in Ronda possible; he highlighted the increase in average spending, evident in visits to monuments, such as the Arab Baths, with 7,333 visits this year compared to 6,176 last year; and the Tajo Gorge, with 8,455.

No security incidents

For her part, the councilor for Citizen Security emphasized “the exceptional work carried out by the Local Police during this Holy Week” and also wanted to highlight the effort and commitment of the Civil Protection volunteers who were practically 100% operational. Additionally, López noted the joint effort of these groups, the citizenry, the Brotherhood Association, and all security forces in general.

López indicated that there were no serious incidents during Holy Week and that the pre-designed plan by the Local Police was followed step by step. “Minor incidents were occasional and resolved immediately,” the municipal delegate remarked.

In terms of data, she referred to the fact that the Local Police had to remove only 6% of vehicles from the procession routes, highlighting the planning of this aspect. There were 57 reports for minor incidents such as noise, traffic, assistance to the ill... And there was a minimum of four Local Police patrols each day and three at night. There were 23 records for public alcohol consumption, 11 to minors; and 10 for throwing stones at vehicles in the area of the Castle and the fairgrounds, all involving minors.
