More than a village, Ronda would almost serve as a city with its 33,624 inhabitants . Unique in its kind, the Andalusian municipality located a hundred kilometers from Malaga is partly erected on a natural gorge 150 meters high , thus separating the city in two by the Guadalevin river .
Connected by bridges, Ronda offers a breathtaking panorama . One of the most impressive villages of Andalusia, to visit absolutely !
3/ Frigiliana, listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain
Located in the province of Malaga , Frigiliana belongs to the association of the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain (like our Most Beautiful Villages of France). A title that is worth the detour, as you will see on the spot!
4/ El Rocío, a timeless village
Attached to the municipality of Almonte , the hamlet of El Rocío is bordered by the marshes of the Doñana National Park where it is not uncommon to see flamingos .
This sparsely populated village is also very special because of its striking resemblance to the American West of the 19th century. No paved or tarred road , only earth and sand carpet the ground of this village out of time: one would almost expect to see a team of horses tumbling at full gallop!
Highlight : the Church of the Virgen del Rocío , which attracts many pilgrims every year.
