The Sierra de Grazalema is one of the most scenically stunning areas in the whole of Spain. It is a diverse UNESCO Biosphere Park containing habitats ranging from mixed oak woodlands, pine forest and upland pastures to high mountains where life clings-on in the extremes of seasonal climate change. Temperatures are wide-ranging throughout the park influenced by altitudes from 400m to 1600m above sea level, as well as the eastern areas benefiting from the Mediterranean climate the western facing slopes are affected by the Atlantic climate. Unsurprisingly such a varied habitat and range of altitudes produces a great diversity in flora and fauna. Our ABS Field Meeting for December visited this important area and gave attending members a chance to marvel at the landscape and, as always, enjoy each others company.

Welcome to one of Spain’s most visited cities — and with good reason. Ronda is a compact, walkable destination where everything is close at hand. From the moment you arrive, you’re just steps away from iconic sights like the Real Maestranza bullring, the Puente Nuevo and El Tajo gorge, the many beautiful churches, our museums, or the wonderful coffee shops and tapas bars, we have it all within a short 30 minute walk.

If you're only in Ronda for one day be sure to check out our audio guided tour Its a fantastic way to find the best places in Ronda and learn about some history. If you're likely to be here for two days or more, then our most popular walks include the walk to the Virgen de la Cabeza, or Mr Henderson's Railway Walk. And, of course the spectacular Natural Park of the Sierra de Grazalema.

But to really get the most out of Ronda, book a hotel, stay with us for a few days and immerse yourself into the City of Dreams. Read an introduction to Ronda here.
