My family and I had the pleasure of visiting the LA Organic Experience olive oil tour in Ronda. As soon as we arrived, we were immediately struck by the beauty of the farm and its picturesque setting. Our guide took us on a tour of the olive groves, where we learned about the organic and sustainable farming practices that the farm employs. We were impressed by the farm’s commitment to environmentally-friendly practices, and it was fascinating to see the methods they use to produce their award-winning olive oil.
There is even a fantastic guest house here if you want to stay in this idylic setting. (Scroll down to the bottom of this page for prices and reservation details)

If you are staying in Ronda for a few days and have a car then you will surely want to get out and about to explore more villages in the area. The White Villages (Pueblos Blancos) encompass the north east of Cádiz and north west of Málaga provinces and this area is saturated in history with palaeolithic cave paintings, neolithic dolmens, bronze and copper age remains, Roman roads, Visigoth fountains and Moorish towers.
The town of Ronda, with its rich history, culture, and natural beauty, has been inspired by many writers and poets. “The Spanish Trilogy” by Rainer Maria Rilke, which includes a section dedicated to Ronda, contains poetry about the town. The town’s history, architecture, surrounding landscapes, and beauty of the natural surroundings are reflected upon in the poem.
Over the last few years the wineries (“bodegas” in Spanish) of Ronda have greatly increased their production and are going through what can only be described as a “boom time”. There are over 20 excellent vineyards producing Red, Rosé and white wines with the denomination of origin “Wines of Malaga” (Malaga being the province that Ronda belongs to.)
