Tips
- Stop at Antequera on the way for the dolmens, a UNESCO site just outside the town.
- Ronda's station and bus station are in the newer part of town, a 15-minute walk from the bridge.
- Check Renfe for the latest train pattern, as services on the Ronda line change.
- If you rent a car, Ronda is a good base for the white villages of the Serranía.
Common questions
Is there a direct train from Granada to Ronda?
Direct trains have become rare. Most rail journeys need a change at Antequera, either at Santa Ana on the high-speed line or at Bobadilla junction, and take about 2 h 30 to 3 h. Connections are few each day, so check the current Renfe timetable before relying on the train. Driving is usually faster and simpler.
Is there a bus from Granada to Ronda?
There are regional coaches, but only very few a day, taking about 2 h 30 to 3 h. Check the current timetable at Granada bus station or online and book ahead in busy periods. Another option is to take a bus or train to Málaga and continue from there to Ronda, which has more frequent connections but takes longer.
Can I visit Ronda as a day trip from Granada?
By car, yes: about 2 h each way leaves enough time for the Puente Nuevo, the gorge viewpoints, the bullring and the old town. By public transport it is difficult, because the few trains and buses rarely give you enough time in Ronda and a reasonable return. Consider staying a night in Ronda instead.
What is the best route to drive from Granada to Ronda?
The usual route is the A-92 motorway west to Antequera, then country roads via Campillos to Ronda, about 180 km in roughly 2 h. There are no tolls. The road is good and gives the option of stopping in Antequera. Fill up before the last stretch, as there are fewer petrol stations in the countryside.
