A day or two is perfect for Ronda. In one day, you can hit the highlights like the Puente Nuevo, the bullring, and the old town. Spend a second day if you want to explore the nearby trails, enjoy the slower pace, or just relax at a café overlooking the gorge. If you’re doing a road trip through Andalusia, Ronda makes a great stopover, but trust me, it’s worth staying a bit longer.

Ronda is a peaceful and safe town, perfect for wandering around without a care. Like anywhere, keep an eye on your stuff in busy areas or near tourist spots, especially around the Puente Nuevo. At night, the streets are generally calm, but stick to well-lit areas in the quieter parts of town. The locals are welcoming, and the vibe’s laid-back, so you can explore with peace of mind.

Most people in Ronda speak some English, especially in hotels, restaurants, and local shops. Outside of that, most locals stick to Spanish, but they’re patient and friendly if you try a few basic phrases. “Hola” (hello) and “gracias” (thank you) go a long way. Having a translation app handy can help with menus or directions, but honestly, a smile will get you through just fine!
