The bullring in Seville

If you set off early in the morning, a day trip to Seville from Ronda is quite do-able and well worth the effort!

Seville, the capital of the Andalusia region of southern Spain, is a stunning city with a rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking architecture. It is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world, and for good reason.

Visitors to Ronda are often confused as to why our central plaza Socorro features a statue of a semi-naked man with two lions by his side and a couple of pillars behind him. What is their significance? Lets find out about the Plaza del Socorro and Blas Infante.

This was when the father of Andalusian nationalism, Blas Infante, unfurled the flag and symbols of Andalusia whilst standing on the first floor balcony of the ‘Circulo de Artistas‘.

Nerja – Axarquia Costa

by
Nerja, Axarquia Costa

There are many naturally beautiful towns along the coast of Andalucia, and Nerja is one of the best. The town is one of Malaga’s white-washed villages in the style of the Moorish era. Nerja is famous for it’s old quarter with narrow alleyways, and not to be missed, the Balcon de Europa, a wide partially covered walkway with breathtaking views of beaches and Mediterranean.

Right behind the Balcon, visitors will find the 17th century Moorish/baroque Church of El Salvador, and close by the attractive town hall building. Horse and carriage tours depart from here, giving a magical impression of Nerja and the town’s cobbled streets.

A Daytrip to Nerja from Ronda

by
Nerja A day trip from Ronda

Visitors to Ronda find the city to be a wonderful location from which to explore the rest of Andalucia, and the Axarquía coast is within reach if you like road trips! (i.e. its quite a long way!) Most people go to Nerja in order to visit the Nerja Caves.

Nerja is one of the gems of the south coast of Spain. It is about 40 minutes drive from Malaga, not much more from Malaga airport, and from Ronda about 2.5 to 3 hours. There and back it’s quite a long drive so we would recommend staying overnight or a couple of days to really explore the town and all it has to offer.
