Visit the White Villages of Serrania de Ronda

This minibus tour from Ronda visits the following highlights:

  • Grazalema       
  • Las Palomas Pass through the Grazalema mountains       
  • Zahara de la Sierra

From Ronda, we head to the white village of Grazalema, nestled into the craggy mountains of the Sierra del Grazalema Natural Park, and once the site of a huge textile weaving business. Whilst only one (partly) functioning weaving mill remains, the smart houses which belonged to the former mill owners still line the narrow white streets, lending Grazalema a rather grander feel than most other white villages. The village still holds annual bull runs, where bulls are "encouraged" to chase foolhardy runners around the plaza and up and down the narrow streets. Without the bull running, you can take a pleasant walk around this calm and tranquil village, enjoy refreshments in a cafe by the plaza and take in the fabulous views across the valley below.

We then drive up a narrow, twisting road which winds up through the mountains to the top of Las Palomas Pass at 1,357m above sea level. Here we make a brief stop to take in the huge vistas of three Andalucian provinces - Cadiz, Málaga and Seville.

Then it is down to the village of Zahara de la Sierra, a charming white village overlooking a beautiful blue lake.  Take a short walk around the village and there is time for optional refreshments here before returning to Ronda.
