Ronda and White Villages
During this tour, available daily, guests explore the enchanting White Villages and Ronda, with pickups from their hotel or the city center of Seville. With a maximum capacity of 30 passengers, this 10-hour excursion promises an unforgettable adventure. To begin the tour, a local tour guide will accompany guests to the region of the Sierra de Cádiz-Pueblos Blancos; its name derived from the popular custom among the local inhabitants of whitewashing the outside of their houses and decorating them with brightly coloured potted flowers which, combined with the golden sunshine, the mountain peaks, the green hills and blue sky, creates a true explosion of colour. Here guests find the Sierra de Grazalema, Andalusia’s first natural park and one of the most ecologically outstanding in Spain, famous for its spectacular limestone landscape, its steep cliffs, ravines, caves, and its unique Spanish fir tree forest. From here the tour makes a stop in Zahara de la Sierra, the most spectacular town in the area because of its Arabic Torre del Homenaje, which overlooks part of the Sierra de Grazalema National Park.
