Experience the beauty of Ronda’s stunning landscapes and rich history with this guided walk. Book now to explore the Tajo del Abanico and immerse yourself in the captivating natural scenery of Andalusia.

Embark on an easy, circular walk from the southern, old part of Ronda town to discover a hidden gem – the Tajo del Abanico, a stunning limestone rock gorge. The gorge culminates in a towering rock known as “The Fan”, so named for its unusual shape formed over centuries by the relentless wind and rain erosion of the limestone rock cliffs.

As we follow the route, we pass by lush farmland, olive groves, and almond trees. The trail leads us through a serene holm oak forest before descending to cross a small stream. A short climb later, we arrive at the remains of a mediaeval cobblestone pathway, now seemingly “in the middle of nowhere”. This pathway leads us into the heart of the valley gorge where we discover a low cave and the massive, fan-shaped rock that gives the gorge its name.

After exploring the gorge, we return through the quiet valley, taking in the beautiful rock formations along the way. The walk concludes with a journey through one of Ronda’s oldest districts, the Barrio San Francisco. Here, we find a bustling plaza, the mediaeval Almocobar Gate, and the charming church of Espiritu Santu.
