Molinos del Tajo
⏱️ 2-3 h 🚶7 km 💪 Easy, with some uphill
This circular walk showcases Ronda's extraordinary location. From the centre of town, we descend through the pine forest skirting the cliff edge, into the green valley bottom, with its vineyards and olive groves. Dramatic views of the immense sandstone cliffs and the acrobatic flight of the red-billed choughs that nest in the gorge. We contemplate the ruins of mills from Moorish times, when waterwheels were used to grind wheat and press olives; and marvel at the famous New Bridge, before ascending a cobbled road past the ancient city walls to the Barrio de San Francisco, where we can enjoy a cool drink in the shady square.
