Why take this tour?

This route makes a circuit to the west of Ronda, passing through rural countryside and through two small, sleepy white villages. It includes a couple of long hill climbs which will ensure a good work out for legs and lungs; you are rewarded for your efforts with some long, sweeping descents. From Ronda we head down to the Guadiaro river to make a short stop at the Cueva del Gato, “Cat Cave”, named after the shape of the cave mouth in the mountain. This local beauty spot has a small waterfall where thousands of litres of very cold water exit the cave to create a beautiful pool of crystal clear water. From here we climb steadily into the mountains and usually make a quick coffee stop on the village square in Montejaque. We exit the village via a narrow rocky gorge, providing us with a short, challenging stretch of twisting mountain road which dips into the gorge and back out the other side. We continue through cork forest before climbing back up the hill to Ronda.
