The refurbished path for the Camino del Desfiladero del Tajo Gorge walk in Ronda starts at the Plaza María Auxiliadora and leads down to the base of the Puente Nuevo.
To get there just cross the Puente Nuevo into the old town and then take calle Tenorio opposite the painted tiles of Ronda Romántica.

Here’s the promo clip from the Ronda town hall
The cobbled pathway leading down to the entrance is VERY steep and is not accessible for individuals with mobility challenges, but for those eager to embark on the adventure, it will eventually (once the second phase is completed) offer a thrilling descent into the heart of Ronda’s natural beauty.
Right now, the route is getting some pretty bad reviews over on Google maps with people commenting that it is too expensive and equally as good views are available for free a bit further down the path away from the paid area. As I mentioned before, the key will be finishing the second phase but in my humble opinion this first phase should have remained free untill the project was completed in full.
IMPORTANT! Children under 8 are not allowed.
- Admission is five euros.
- The maximum capacity is 30 people per hour
- Entrance tickets will include the mandatory helmets to be worn during the walk, similar to the Caminito del Rey.
Tickets can be bought online at the official website or at the entrance gate desfiladerodeltajo.info.
On the official website you should also check out the “rules”. before you enter the area. Apart from kids under 8 not allowed you mustn’t “take off your clothes, scatter ashes of the dead, smoke tabaco or any other substance”. Take heed of the rules! :)
When the second stage is completed, the gorge will be crossed from the base of the bridge and the ending point will be at the old San Miguel Hermitage, next to the Arab Baths, in the Padre Jesús neighbourhood
