Nightlife in Ronda – Irish Bar Heaven

Where to go for a bit of nightlife in Ronda? An Irish bar in the middle of the romantic and ancient city of Ronda might not seem to be, in theory, a good combination. But, every where needs some nightlife yes?

Heaven Irish bar in Ronda
Heaven bar is a listed and registered “official” Irish bar and as such serves original Guiness! :)
Up to a point, children can enjoy nightlife in Ronda as well.

Children can enter this bar as can be seen below in the photo of my son. Alcohol free drinks are of course available.… But it gets a lot louder as the night goes on so we are normally out and on the way home by 10pm. (If we have the kids in tow. :)

Fantastic drone footage of Ronda with music by Paco Seco

Earlier this year I went on a family holiday to Andalusia. Unknowing to It’s beauty, we stumbled across Ronda when browsing a coach timetable.

From the moment I saw the photos of Ronda on my Google search, I knew I had to see it for myself – and it was spectacular!

After a few months of sitting on a Hard Drive, the footage has now been really bought alive after it’s parring with music from an incredibly talented musician local to Ronda, Paco Seco.

Paco was born in Andalusia and co-founded the ‘Ronda Guitar House’ with the mission of providing truly authentic, culturally rich and quality music in the city of Ronda.
