Trains to Ronda - Ronda Train Timetables

Trains to Ronda – Ronda Train Timetables

by

Trains to Ronda have reduced over the last few years with shutdowns on some lines due to severe storms damaging tracks and major works on the Granada to Algecirus line. That said, Ronda is still serviced by regular trains from many major cities in Spain.

How to Reserve a train to and from Ronda?

Many, many people complain about the official RENFE train website for it’s difficult navigation and many times refusal to accept credit cards not from Spanish addresses. So, we recommend using the OMIO reservation system. (OMIO can also be used to search for buses and flights.)

Ronda Today gets a small commission when you buy your tickets from our site. Thankyou! We hope that Ronda Today has helped you get the most out of your visit to the “City of Dreams”

Find a train to Ronda

REMEMBER! You can sometimes only book trains up to 60 days in advance with some routes just 30 days in advance.

Book a RENFE train to Ronda and just print off your eticket. Simple for getting to and from Ronda from all Spanish cities.  Also return train daytrips from Ronda to the Alhambra in Granada, Mezquita in Córdoba, or the Picaso Museum in Malaga.

Types of train service to Ronda.

Trains to Ronda often change at another station and only a few services are direct. This means you need to pay particular attention to the type of train used. Ronda sits on the Algeciras-Granada line, but trains to Madrid and Malaga are available from Ronda train station.

All trains departing either Algeciras, Granada, or Malaga are the regional trains (media distancia). The service to Madrid runs between Algeciras-Madrid, and is a type of train known as Altaria. This is not a high speed service.

Is there a high speed train “AVE” to Ronda?

NO. The AVE high speed train does not currently service Ronda, although there are plans to upgrade the track at sometime in the future.  If you book a ticket to Madrid from Ronda then you take the “media distancia” to the Santa anna station where the nearest AVE high speed station is located.

Opening times and bar.

The railway station in Ronda is open from 06.45 till 22.00, although the ticket office is only open from 06.50 till 21.30 and outside these times the only person in attendance will be the station controller. Within the building there is a bar that serves coffee, drinks and light tapas. They also have a set menu for travelers with time to spare.

The Hotel Andalucia across the street from the station is a convenient hotel close to Ronda train station.

It is well priced and perfectly located in a quiet part of town just 5 minutes from the main shopping area and just 10 minutes walk from the main monuments and cultural attractions.

Parking at the train station in Ronda.

Parking at the station is charged for but not too expensive, and the gates open between 07.00 and 22.00. If cost of parking is an issue, we’d recommend parking in the street outside the station which is free but places are very limited and can be hard to find!

Be warned that parking on yellow lines or in a way that obstructs traffic will likely see your vehicle towed to the impound yard. Read about parking in Ronda here.

Getting to the town centre from the train station

Getting from the train station in Ronda to the Tourist Information Office, the Plaza del Toros, and Puente Nuevo is a short 10 minute walk and you certainly don’t need to get a taxi, simply follow my walking directions from the Ronda railway station.

  2. Hello RT, We are looking forward to spending 3 nights in Ronda in May, 2025. I know May train scheds are not available now, so I put into Omio the likely days of the week for travel. Can you venture a guess if Seville > Ronda on a Saturday would be best via the 2.5 hrs Damas Bus? Thoughts on Ronda > Granada on a Tuesday by train (a short transfer in Antequera)? Basically, I’m hoping the daily bus and train scheds might not change from Feb to May. No guarantees of course. Thank you! Dee Florida USA

  3. Hello,

    We would like to come to Ronda in March by train from Antequera-Santa Ana, and then continue on the train to Algeciras a few days later. However, Omio isn’t showing any trains at all after Jan 31st. Do you happen to know if that means that the line is going to be closed, or is it e.g. just because RENFE don’t release the timetable information more than a few weeks in advance?

    Thanks!

  13. Hi Ronda,

    I want to stay two nights in Ronda then take a train to Granada on 13 September 2019 but no trains show on OMIO or RENFE or TRAINS web sites. Is there a problem with this request?

  14. We are visiting Spain next month and have a6 day rail pass. How long does the train take from Cordoba to Ronda, and would we be able to fit in a day visit to Ronda?

  15. Is Mr Henderson’s railway open in September 2019. Am having difficulty finding this out and booking tickets.

  16. Hi , we are planning to travel on June 19 to Granada .. we were looking at the renfe website and it shows no trains past June 8th..
    Is there any problem with the line or will trains open up closer to the date ?

    Thanks in advance

  17. Hi, has the train line from Algeciras to Ronda been reopened yet? If not, is there a direct bus service? We need to travel on 29th May. Thanks.

  18. According to the RENFE website, there are trains showing from San Roque in June up to 8th June, no trains are shown for the rest of June (that is, after 8th June). Is the train line closed from 9th June?

  19. hi, would you happen to know when the Ronda to San Roque/Algericas trainline will be back in service? :). Or where is best to get updates on it’s return :) thank you!

  21. we would like to come to ronda for the day from san roque but have no printer – it looks on renfe’s website that we need to pre book as some of the tickets no longer seem to be available, but we wouldn’t be able to print any if we do this. Can we use an app or eticket? Or will there definitely be tickets available at the time we would like to get on the train? Would be very sad to get to the station and discover we couldn’t get the train.
