Ronda and the white villages

Ronda is one of the most beautiful towns in the province of Malaga. Its New Bridge, built over a gorge 100 meters deep, is an image you won’t forget.

In addition to visiting Ronda, we recommend you take a tour visiting the so-called “white towns”, which flood the provinces of Seville, Cádiz and Málaga, such as Zahara de la Sierra, with its streets built under the cliffs, or Grazalema, located in the area where it rains the most in Spain.

Crossing the Sierra Norte, which we talked about above, we reach Extremadura and towns such as Zafra or Jerez de los Caballeros, very beautiful and where you can see the mix of Andalusian and Extremaduran customs in this area.

If you have more time you can go to Mérida, although we recommend that you spend a night in this city to enjoy its Roman monuments.

And other more distant Andalusian capitals?

These cities have a lot to see and we believe that making a one-day visit from Seville is not ideal, as they have a lot to see and it is better to spend another visit. But, it could also be that it is your next destination after visiting Seville, and that is why we include them here.

Granada and Malaga are some of the most beautiful cities in Andalusia. And you could also visit them from Seville.

Cádiz is closer and it is a more affordable visit to make from Seville. In addition, Gibraltar is relatively close and it is a very interesting place that you could get to know with this excursion. We also recommend this excursion to Cádiz and Jerez de la Frontera.
