The walk from Benaoján-Montejaque railway station to Cueva del Gato follows the Guadiaro River through a landscape of limestone hills, riverside vegetation and abundant wildlife. The route is relatively short, making it a popular outing for visitors exploring the countryside around Ronda.
Important: Cueva del Gato walking route temporarily closed
As of November 2026, the Junta de Andalucía lists the route and access to the Cueva del Gato Natural Monument as temporarily closed following damage caused by flooding during the winter of 2026. Repair work is under way, but the authorities have not announced a reopening date. Do not attempt the walk or cross the river or railway line while the closure remains in force. Check the official Junta de Andalucía notice before making plans.
