Leisurely shore excursion to impressive Ronda and charming Mijas

We will start the day by picking you up from the port of Malaga. We then begin our journey by driving through the spectacular countryside of Andalucia to the mountain town of Ronda. This picture-postcard town is divided in two by the El Tajo gorge — a 380-foot (115-meter) chasm spanned by the towering 18th-century New Bridge (Puento Nuevo). Enjoy spectacular views and admire wonderful architecture dating from Moorish times up to the 1800s.

On arrival, our escort will provide you with orientation and an explanation on how to best spend your time. You will have approximately 2.5 hours to explore this spectacular town on your own. Visit the Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles gardens, see the monument to Pedro Romero, the new bridge, the Arabian bridge, the Tajo-Gorge, and walk through the old Arabian city, Main Square, Maison Bosco, Cathedral, Mondragon Palace or the Bullring.

On the return journey, we will stop at the white village of Mijas on the Costa del Sol.  Explore white-washed houses with hanging flower-pots set on a side of a mountain overlooking the Mediterranean. This is a charming village to enjoy an afternoon stroll and take great photos before we head back to the cruise ship.

Time-permitting only, we may also do a quick drive through the highlights of Malaga on the return trip to Port.
