Hotel parking Archives

Finding somewhere to park in Ronda can be one of the trickier parts of arriving by car. The city has narrow streets, restricted areas and limited free parking, but there are several good options depending on whether you’re visiting for the day, staying overnight or looking for free parking. Below I explain the main car parks, where you can park for free, how to avoid parking restrictions and which hotels in Ronda have their own parking.

IMPORTANT: Plaza del Socorro car park is currently closed

The APK2 Plaza del Socorro car park is currently closed following a safety-related order from Ronda Town Hall. Do not use the old Plaza del Socorro booking links while the closure remains in place. We recommend using another car park, such as Martínez Astein, or one of the other options listed below.

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!

Vehicle access across Ronda’s Puente Nuevo is restricted. Visitors driving vehicles that are not registered and taxed in Ronda should not cross the bridge or enter the restricted area without prior authorisation. If you are staying inside the restricted zone, your accommodation should arrange the necessary vehicle registration before you arrive. For most visitors, the simplest option is to use the Ronda ring road, park outside the restricted area and walk into the historic centre.

Avoid the restricted roads — See where to park in Ronda

Ronda bridge closed to traffic — Coming down past the Plaza de Merced church you have the opportunity to turn left. If you continue onwards here, the cameras will trap you and the fine will be sent. So, if you see the bullring on your right you have already gone too far.

Practical tips

Do not rely on your GPS route if it directs you through Calle Virgen de la Paz or across the Puente Nuevo unless your vehicle has been authorised to enter the restricted area.
For most visitors, the safest option is to use the Ronda ring road (A-374 / A-369), park outside the restricted zone and walk into the historic centre. See our guide to parking in Ronda.
If you are staying at accommodation inside the restricted area, contact the property before you arrive and provide your vehicle registration details so they can arrange the necessary access.
If you are driving a hire car, remember that any traffic fine may also be followed by an administration charge from the rental company.

If you’re visiting or staying in a hotel within the restricted zone, don’t worry—hotel guests can still access the area by coordinating with their accommodation, which will inform local police of your stay.
