Parador de Ronda

Ronda


Acres of shining marble and deep-cushioned furniture give this modern parador a certain appeal, but really it's all about the views. The terrace is a wonderful place to drink in the sight of the gaping gorge with your coffee or wine, especially at night.

The hotel was once the town hall and has a grisly civil-war past.
