Round in a day: monuments, places, and cuisine to enjoy

In the province of Málaga, you can find Ronda, a place known for its impressive gorge and ravine, making it one of the most coveted destinations for tourists worldwide. Its landscape can be enjoyed all year round, and it is a must-visit for those traveling to the province. Besides its landscapes and monuments, it also offers rich cuisine.

To enjoy a traditional breakfast in Ronda, there’s nothing better than Churrería Alba. With its classic decor, it offers a multitude of options whether you want to try hot chocolate with churros or other local delicacies. We suggest arriving early, as it is very popular among the locals.

After filling up your stomach, enjoy a stroll through the charming streets of Ronda. A visit to the Alameda is essential for any tourist, offering beautiful views of the New Bridge from various points, especially descending the picturesque cuesta del Cachondeo. Additionally, the area has various notable viewpoints. The Jardines de Cuenca and the picturesque San Francisco neighborhood are also worth exploring if you are new to the area.

For lunch in Ronda, the best option is to enjoy the tradition of tapas. Near the bus stop, places like Bodega de San Francisco or Los Caracoles are sure bets, typically recommended by locals. However, for a top-notch experience, Lechugita is the most sought after. Despite its small size, it stands out for its quick service, attentive staff, and very affordable prices.

The afternoon in Ronda can be spent visiting the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda, a classic that houses a cultural museum dedicated to bullfighting. It is also common to enjoy the quality of the Arab baths in the city, with Hammam Al Ándalus Baños Árabes, located in Plaza de los Mártires Ciriaco y Paula, being one of the most sought-after options.

Enjoying a coffee in Ronda is delightful, as there are many places with special views. The terrace of Hotel Don Miguel offers breathtaking views midway through the gorge. Hotel Catalonia also has a prominent terrace to enjoy the sunsets of Ronda.

For dinner, Tragatá is of a superlative level, with plenty of accolades such as its award-winning Russian salad and the value of its chef, Benito Gómez and Bardal, one of the two Michelin Stars you can also enjoy in Ronda. For either option, you should book in advance, especially the latter. Tragatá offers prices above average but rewards with its quality. If you're looking for something else, Casa Mateos, with excellent meat and a rustic atmosphere, or Quinto Tramo, which carefully prepares tapas with a modern twist, are other recommended options.
