On the way, you’ll pass two breathtaking lookout points, the Mirador de Ronda and the Mirador de Aldehuela. As we leave the new town behind us and enter the old, you’ll visit Ronda’s former border at the top of Puerta de Almocábar, and quake in the boots of history’s soldiers as you imagine approaching armies. From there you’ll follow the old defensive wall to the Arab Baths and the Puente Viejo bridge, before making your way back over Puente Nuevo. The tour ends in front of Plaza de Toros, the Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda, which was the country’s very first.

This audio tour was excellent! The directions were perfect and the information vast. You can take your time, pause if you want and then restart when you are ready. I saw so much. A lot of walking but you have as much time as you wish to take. Well worth it. I saw so much of Ronda and learned much of its history. Highly recommended

It was very easy to follow the route. We liked that we could decide how fast the pace was, when and where to stop. Also you could decide how much detail you wanted to hear about the different places or move on to the next. I would definitely do another audio tour again.

This audio guide was great in Ronda! The town itself is fairly small and the tour took 2 hours approx. I was glad to have this and that we could do this at our own pace. A great perk is that it downloads and you can use it offline as well.

The walk was informative, time was given for photography. Unfortunately, the guide was delayed by half an hour due to traffic jams - in the future, a short notification by phone/SMS would be useful.

I love the concept because it allows us to discover the city, at our own pace and according to our desires. the flexibility offered is wonderful.
