Getting to Ronda


Once in Spain there are many ways to get to Ronda:

  • Rental Car - Defintely the most convenient way to get around. In Spain, they drive on the same side of the road as in the U.S.
  • Coach/Bus - From many cities/towns in the Andalucian region you will also be able to get a coach/bus to Ronda.
  • Train - From Malaga and Seville to Ronda with a change in Bobadillo.

Rental Car
It’s definitely best to reserve a car before arriving in Spain (see suggestions below driving directions). It is worth asking your rental company if they have a map.

Driving to Ronda from Malaga:
This is probably the most direct
of two routes:
Leaving the airport follow the signs to Algeciras/Cádiz on to the highway. After about 25km the road will split into the AP 7 and A7(N340). The AP7 is a toll road and much quicker. Take the exit at San Pedro de Alcántara and look for A376 to Ronda. You will drive up the mountain on a winding road and end up in Ronda – just keep following the signs.


Driving to Ronda from Seville:
Take the road A 374 in the direction of Utrera. Remain on A 374, bypassing Utrera, El Coronil and Puerto Serrano. Shortly after you will come to a T-junction. Turn left and follow the road to Algodonales. A few kilometres passed this village you will see a sign to your right, indicating Ronda - A 374. Turn right here and follow it for about 30 kms.
Note: Until Oct 2005 A374 road was A 376 and is still indicated in maps like this.


Driving to Ronda from Jerez:
Take the road A 382 east in the direction of Ronda. Remain on A 382, bypassing Villamartin and Algodonales. A few kilometres passed this village you will see a sign to your right, indicating Ronda - A 374. Follow this road for about 30 kms.
