DAYHIKES

Friday, 03 October 2025
A beautiful walking route that takes us from the southern edge of the city of Ronda to the famous "Abanico" cave and gorge, via roads, dirt tracks and mountain paths

Finally, we reach the beginning of the beautiful gorge "Tajo del Abanico" and its famous cave. Legend has it that this is where the Roman army was defeated in an ambush by the leader of the resistance.
It is a circular route on which we pass the ancient well "El Pilar de Cartajima". Once back in Ronda, we can have a drink in a bar in the San Francisco neighbourhood.
