The whitewashed mountain villages of Andalusia are among the most authentic places to visit near the Costa de la Luz. On this trip, you'll discover the mountain-ringed village of Grazalema and the perched-on-a cliff town of Ronda to take in the dramatic scenery of the sierra.
Your day starts in the valley village of Grazalema – a maze of narrow lanes flanked by whitewashed houses overflowing with flowers, surrounded by rocky peaks on all sides. You'll have free time to look around and admire its rugged setting.
Then it's on to ancient Ronda, which straddles a gorge. It's claimed to be where Spanish traditions such as flamenco and bullfighting originated. You'll be able to soak up its charm with free time to wander around the medieval streets and over the famous bridge. You'll also have free time to explore at your own pace. The Mondragon Palace, the Church of Santa Maria la Mayor or the Casa Don Bosco – which affords incredible views over the bridge – are all worth a visit.
