Where to park in Ronda Spain? Well, Ronda can sometimes be a difficult little city to drive around and find parking for the uninitiated, especially if you’ are driving a large motor home or towing a caravan don’t even think about entering the city centre! Instead park in one of the outlying streets and then walk into the centre. (See camper vans section below if you are staying for the night or more.)
Book your parking on line in advance
Book nowIf you are looking for a parking space in the center of Ronda, the APK2 Plaza del Socorro parking lot is ideal. Located very close to the main tourist attractions of the city, such as the Plaza de Toros de Real Maestranza, Puente Nuevo and Mirador, from here you can stroll through the old town and find the most popular restaurants and hotels.

Hotel parking
Most hotels have their own parking and if not at the very least a temporary parking bay so that you can unload any luggage and the staff will then direct you to the nearest parking. Ask your hotel for information and directions about parking during your stay.
Beware narrow streets!
Streets in Ronda are quite narrow, most are one way, and in the older part of town corners and bends can be quite tortuous, of course this is one of the “City of Dreams” main attractions but can be a nightmare when driving a hire car.
Have you read our article about How to avoid high roaming charges while traveling abroad?
The city, is however, blessed with being small and almost everything is within walking distance of the outskirts of town. La Ciudad, the old Moorish town of Ronda, is becoming a car free zone in many places and what parking there is will often be taken by residents.
Unless you’re in a rush our advice is to park outside the centre, the walk is only a few minutes, and regardless of which direction you’ve come from the best parking is always free, and is almost all in the commercial area between the centre and the poligono industrial. (industrial estate.) Look for signs directing you to “Poligono El Fuerte“

There is a very good motor home parking area on the outskirts of Ronda but still within walking distance to the main sights of Ronda. (If you don’t want to leave your home on the side of the road.) Website in English here.
Free and paid parking spaces in Ronda explained.
Parking spaces either with white painted white lines are usually free parking.
Parking spaces with blue lines usually means it is paid parking with a time limit. Look for or ask someone where the meter is.
Parking spaces with a yellow zig zag line means that there is some kind of restriction to parking there. It could be;
- A hotel entrance with a 15 minute limit for checking in.
- A taxi parking area.
- A short term parking area In front of a chemists shop.
- A short term parking area in front of a supermarket.
Look for the sign to explain what the restrictions are or ask someone passing by if you can park safely. Remember that this type of parking could be a free or paid for area. If you don’t follow the rules you WILL be towed away!
Parking Restrictions Where NOT to park in Ronda Spain
Where NOT to park in Ronda Spain? In some places you may see a free space with a yellow line around it, this is most likely a commercial dropping point or private park and your vehicle will be towed away! Similarly, never park in front of a garage entrance that has a yellow line painted on the road surface and a no parking sign attached to the door. Vehicles that are illegally parked in Ronda are being towed with more frequency than they ever used to be. The fee for retrieving your car ranges from 70€ to 150€.
My favorite place to park in Ronda is the train station. Just follow the road signs marked “RENFE”. It’s then just 10 minutes walk down the main pedestrian shopping street to the main monuments of Ronda
