We start the route from the Hotel Molino del Arco, which is a typical Andalusian farmhouse from the beginning of the 18th century and is located 13 km from the center of Ronda.
We started pedaling towards Ronda along the Smuggler’s Way towards the Fuente de la Higuera. And then towards the Cebadero where we take the Via Serrana route, which is the Jacobean Route from Campo de Gibraltar, through the old Cañada Real de Ronda to Seville and which, on reaching Seville, becomes the Vía de la Plata.
Later we had to take the GR-249. Stage 24: Ronda – Benaoján Station. And that we will continue until we reach Ronda. Stopping at the magnificent postcard views of the Mirador de la Hoya del Tajo. With the typical views of the Tagus Bridge over the Tagus River.
