Set on an Andalusian mountain plateau, the town of Ronda is just over an hour – and a whole world away – from the beach resorts of Spain’s Costa Del Sol. This pueblo blanco (white town) has one of the most beautiful settings around, perched precariously on the edge of a gorge surrounded by rolling hills, whitewashed buildings, orange trees and olive groves. Ronda is close enough to Seville and Málaga for a day trip, but as well as stunning views, there are more than enough things to do in Ronda to make it worth staying a night or two.
