UPDATE 15/07/2025. From the 14th of July 2025, the A-397 road, which links Ronda with San Pedro Alcántara, has been partially reopened to traffic. This follows several months of closure caused by essential repair and maintenance work along the route. The reopening was welcomed by the Minister for Public Works, who noted that the project was completed ahead of schedule, thanks to efforts to shorten the originally planned timelines. This partial reopening is expected to ease local travel and reduce detours for residents and commuters in the area.

Where to see Flamenco in Ronda
Flamenco music traces its roots back to ancient Andalusian history, potentially predating even the Moorish settlements. Many experts believe it to be a rich blend of Iberian, Arabic, Sephardic, and Gitano musical traditions, which flourished particularly after the reconquest of 1492 and continued to evolve over the following centuries.
Over the past millennium, Flamenco has expanded beyond Andalusia to encompass the rest of Spain and former Spanish territories in both Central and South America.
