How to Get There:
There are three routes to Ronda from the Costa del Sol. One leaves the city of Málaga by the A-357 highway in the direction of Campillos. About six kilometres past Ardales, turn onto the A-367, which passes through Cuevas del Becerro and leads straight to Ronda.
Another route leaves from San Pedro de Alcántara. The A-376 turns off the AP-7 motorway or the coastal highway N-340 and can be followed to Ronda without any changes. This is the route that is most used by people coming from the Western Costa del Sol. It is a very well-maintained road, but not without curves, and offers splendid scenery.
Finally, at Manilva you can also get off the AP-7 (N-340) onto the A-377 and go to Gaucín. There take the A-369, which connects with the A-376 just three kilometres short of Ronda. |
