Ronda is one of the more spectacular towns in Spain. If you have rented a car, it's possible to make lovely rides around in this fascinating mountain area. The coast of the Malaga province is filled up with thousands and thousands of hotels. This area had not a too god reputation some time ago, but lately there are renovation and improvement all around. But still is the coast west of Malaga a tourist machine. The area north and east of Málaga has much beautiful nature and some marvellous hotels at offer.

Casares is a beautiful town in the mountains, just a little mile away from the coast and Estepona. The short distance to the coast makes it very popular and this popularity will perhaps at the end destroy it's charm.

Málaga with it's 600 000 inhabitants isn't dominated by foreigners like many other towns at Costa del Sol. Málaga do also have several attractions like the Picasso Museum and the Castle (Alcazaba). Most tourists visiting Costa del Sol are reaching Andalucía by Málaga Airport. Perhaps you should stop a night or two in this town before travelling further on?

Marbella is the town to stay if you would like to be in a big and very well kept town at Costa del Sol. If you have loads of money, Puerto Banús, a bit south of Marbella will be the best option. For most of us Marbella will do! Except the the most expensive hotels of Marbella, the prices aren't higher than many tourists can afford. But there are many towns and cities in Spain which are more interesting to visit than Marbella. The best option is to stop here when driving around in this area. The climate is superb!

(one of the best restaurants in Andalucía)

Many Spanish towns do have a spectacular situation, but few beat Ronda! On the photo above we can see the Parador situated at the top of the gorge and the bridge crossing the gorge. Many tourists visit Ronda. Please try be there during the low season or at least stay one night or more. During the middle of the day there are buses and buses with visitors from Costa del Sol, making the town too busy. Except the bridge and the old town, Plaza de Toros (perhaps the most important bull ring in Spain) is a major sight. You will of course admire the bull ring just as an architectural site, not visiting a bull match!! There is a growing opposition to this bestial sport/"amusement" in Spain, particularly in Catalonia.
