Con's
It's over 100 kilometres from Malaga airport which by car is over one and a half hour drive and two and a half by train from Malaga. To get about the countryside you really need a car. There is not a great deal for kid's to do no children's attractions or theme parks close by.
Synopsis
Ronda is a great place to visit for a day trip. The building's bridges and scenery are all stunning. It's a must to see but to fill a week or two vacation you will need a car and a plan. It's a 100 kilometre from the nearest beach and not much to do for kid's. But it is a place to really relax.
