Setenil de las Bodegas: a village under the rock
Houses under the rock, and time to explore them at your own pace.
The day starts in Setenil de las Bodegas, a village famous for houses built beneath enormous rock overhangs. The listing calls it one of the most unusual landscapes in Spain, and the photos below show why: rows of white houses tucked under a ceiling of stone, with the rock hanging right over the street.
In Setenil the time is yours. You walk its streets at your own pace, and the guide shares insider tips and recommendations so you know where to head first. It is the slower half of a Ronda day trip from Benalmádena, and a good moment for photos before the bigger city.

Second stop
Ronda: the Puente Nuevo, the gorge and the bullring
Two landmarks named on the listing, and your choice of how to see them.
The second half of the Ronda day trip from Benalmádena is the bigger city. The listing names two landmarks: the Puente Nuevo, which spans the dramatic El Tajo gorge, and the Plaza de Toros, which it calls one of the oldest bullrings in Spain. It says to admire them; entry tickets are not mentioned, so check before you count on going inside.
Once in Ronda, you choose how to spend the time. Explore the city on your own, or join a guided walking tour with one of the local guides if your option includes it. Either way, a digital guide by QR code comes with the day, with information on each city and virtual help when you need it.
If your option includes it, the day ends with a live flamenco show. The listing calls Ronda one of the cradles of flamenco, and the performers play to a Spanish guitar.
