Visit the Roman Ruins of Acinipo and Pileta Cave

This minibus tour from Ronda visits the following highlights:

• Acinipo Roman Ruins       

• Cueva de la Pileta (prehistoric cave paintings)   

We drive up into the hills near Ronda, past vineyards and wheatfields, to the ruins of the Roman city of Acinipo. It was built more than 2,000 years ago to house retired soldiers - though how many lived to retirement age is a common question! We take a short walk up the hill to the partially rebuilt remains of the Roman amphitheatre (originally large enough to seat 2,500 people) and enjoy amazing views from the top of the escarpment across the valley below.

Continuing on into the mountains, we head to the Pileta Cave. The caves are decorated with 25,000-year-old cave paintings and filled with wonderful stalactites and rock formations. The guided tour here is with a member of the family who originally discovered this cave system on their land and lasts approx 1.5 hours. 

Please note: there is a steep stone step climb to the entrance of the cave, and inside the caves can be a bit wet and slippery, with lots of steps up and down. Please wear shoes/trainers with good soles and bring a warm top to wear.
