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.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
