Cycle from Ronda to Setenil de las Bodegas with our easy E-BIKE route and enjoy one of Spain's most beautiful towns
1. The Journey Out
Departing from Ronda, you’ll leave the crowds behind and follow quiet, paved country lanes and smooth gravel tracks. You’ll glide past high-altitude vineyards and traditional Andalusian cortijos (farmhouses), enjoying the assistance of your e-bike on the gentle climbs.
2. The Destination: Setenil de las Bodegas
The route finishes just outside the village to avoid the narrow, congested tourist traffic. From here, you have total freedom. Park up and spend two hours exploring one of Spain’s most unique architectural wonders.
3. Lunch Under the Rock
Setenil is famous for its "Casas Cueva", houses built directly into the overhanging limestone cliffs. We recommend heading to Calle Cuevas del Sol or Calle Cuevas de la Sombra to enjoy a local lunch of chorizo, queso payoyo, or a cool glass of white wine literally under the mountain.
