Start at the Lady Goyesca statue in the Alameda del Tajo garden
Take in the beauty of the valley from the Mirador de Ronda and other viewpoints along the way.
Walk over the 'New Bridge' and hear about Centro de Interpretación del Puente Nuevo, the museum housed inside the bridge that was once a prison, a hotel, and even a tapas bar.
The light will change as you walk, enjoy the new character and different angle of Puente Nuevo from Mirador de Aldehuela.
The Parador de Ronda sits right beside the Puente Nuevo, on the edge of the Tajo gorge in Ronda's old town. Part of Spain's state-run Parador network, it opened in 1994 inside the town's former town hall and food market, and still shows the original Casa Consistorial façade – arcades, cornices, and a traditional clock. Inside, over 100 works of bullfighting art trace styles from Romanticism to geometric abstraction. Guests get a seasonal pool, a panoramic terrace, and one of the closest views of the gorge the bridge spans. It sits right on the VoiceMap tour's own route through the Old Town.
Imagine the feelings of history's soldiers as you walk past Ronda's old border.
There is an optional stop at the Archeological museum of Arab baths and hear about their historical significance to the Muslim Moors of Spain.
In the middle of Ronda's "oldest bridge", I'll tell you about the controversial debate around which of the city's historic bridges came first.
While passing by the Casa del Rey Moro, you'll hear about the room of secrets and the Moorish Kings’ hidden gold.
PLEASE NOTE: PAID ATTRACTION FOR ENTRY. Casa de San Juan Bosco is an early 20th-century modernist villa perched on the edge of Ronda's Tajo gorge, in the town's historic quarter. Built for the Granada family, it was later bequeathed to the Salesian order – Don Bosco's own – as a retirement home for elderly priests. Inside, a courtyard lined with Arab-style ceramics holds a substantial collection of regional pottery, alongside 19th-century tapestries and walnut furniture. Its real draw, though, is the garden: laid out as a viewpoint in its own right, it opens onto sweeping views across the gorge and the mountains beyond.
The tour ends in front of the Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda where you'll hear about the tradition.
Hear about Ronda's most popular museum and the Palace's Moorish courtyards, gardens and stunning views of the Sierra de Grazalema and the Serranía de Ronda.
Finish your tour at Ronda's historic bullring, arguable the first in Spain, and the home of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda.
The tour takes place in the gorgeous town of Ronda. Be captivated by the town's beauty and enthralled by its history on this self-guided audio tour.
We have been purchasing these audio guides for the last several trips. In lieu of other tours with a physical tour guide, we like these because we can stop anywhere we want and for the time we want. But they provide a good itinerary and good information so we know where to go and what we are observing.
Download the Voice Map app and the tour well in advance of when you want to begin. It took 1-1/2 hr to down load it all. Once it started the audio was very informative and the app tracks your location and helps you stay enroute. I will definitely use it again while visiting other sights.
This was a great way to tour, which you could do at your own pace. We took breaks, stayed longer at some locations, and generally took our time. Sometimes it was hard to reconnect to the talk once part way around, though, not sure if it was us or the audio tracking which was the problem.
The information that was recounted on the App was quite informative and there was nothing wrong with that and everything started off OK but at the 3rd stage we encountered works taking place on the route and had to detour. This then compounded a problem of getting back onto the right chapter of the tour which coincided with the place we were at. I know it’s trying to be clever with GPS tracking to tell where you are but for us old technophobes it would have been better to say “ Press continue when you reach the Ponte Norte” or similar. We pressed the pause button a couple of times and then resumed with the play button only to find the narrator beginning at the start of the previous section again. Eventually we got the hang of it but only 1/2 way through. It also was very long and Ronda having steep up and down sections to the town we ended up walking some 8km but we slept well!!
This was great! To have audio and a map made this self-guided tour thoroughly enjoyable. The guide was easy to understand and I didn’t find the guitar music distracting. (I think it can be muted in the program’s settings if it bothers you.) At one point, the route was obstructed by a locked gate, but with the map in hand, I was able to detour and then rejoin the route. Early in the tour, there is a suggestion that you stop by the tourist office and buy a Bono Municipal, which gives you entry into 5 places of interest in Ronda. I did so and used the ticket over the next few days instead of stopping while I was listening to the program. It’s best to download the program and become familiar with the app before beginning the tour.
Very bad experience, no clear direction to go, and no location name to tell, so waste time to finger out things you need to know, so we stopped this service in half hour and go by ourselves
The narrator was clear and had a pleasant voice. We stopped in a few places and the system picked up from where we were. The only annoying thing was the guitar background music which was nice but too loud when you are trying to hear what’s he saying and you the background music plus the street noise as well. We should be able to disable that but otherwise worth the price. I learned lots about Ronda.
Excellent audio guide. Great that you can do the tour at your own pace and stop and start as you wish. The narrator was excellent. He was very clear and so interesting to listen to. The technology was great and the music played between stops was beautiful.
A very simple way to get a walk around the town that you can do at your own pace, but with enough information to give you a feel for the place and history
We hadn't done something like this in the past, but absolutely loved it! We didn't have much time to spend in Ronda but wanted to get some information and not just walk around aimlessly. This was the perfect solution. The instructions were super clear & easy to follow without getting lost. I wish they had this in more cities!
Great product - informative and just the right level of detail. Very easy to follow the tour. Highly recommend - I have already purchased another tour.
Lovely tour of a beautiful town. Spent the day here and feel like we got a flavor of the town and saw a lot more than we would have without the tour. Clive was an excellent guide. Easy to understand and good amount of detalil. More walking on hills than anticipated, but not a problem for us.
Must do experience. The guide is excellent, passionate and clearly knows his stuff. It's quite hilly so wear comfortable shoes.
This was our first audio tour and it was great. Easy to follow instructions, nice background music and narrator had an easy to listen to speaking voice. I will look to do audio tours again in the future.
A great way to see Ronda. The self-guided tour was well done, the app was easy to use You can hop on and off the tour to explore at your own pace - pause tour, come back to it. Not done a tour like this before, but would do again.
The views were phenomenal. The history of the place was captivating and we stopped to have lunch in the town and it was great.
First I was not sure of the service quality but I realized the service was great. Allow the App to track you while using it, you will hear an announcement that you are out of track. This service is very effective and I recommend it to anyone wants to visit Ronda .
The tour was much shorter than we expected and it was confusing in parts (e.g. it would talk about a statue that we couldn't see, despite following directions... or so we thought)
I loved every minute of this tour- perfect for what I was hoping for. I will definitely seek out more audio tours from VoiceMap going forward. The guide on this tour was excellent. Highly recommend.
Great walking audio tour, easy to download the app to get started, nice to go at your own pace and to stop if you wanted. Very informative tour. Would highly recommend.
Such good value, compared to all the other tours available. Only issue was part of the route is currently cut off so had to re-route.
Terrible/glitchy app that skips the stop instead of playing it when you click to play the audio… also doesn’t have directional arrows to show you which direction to go, which is especially tough at the start when the beginning/ending paths are parallel (-_-) it’s about 5.5 miles (8.8km) to complete the audio tour, with slippery cobble stone steps to traverse and climb- not a journey that I could make in anywhere near 75mins and I do HIIT workouts 5x/week- so make sure you bring water and an umbrella!
The app design is amazing. Could go at our own pace and not miss a thing. Just the right amount of information. It took rather longer than the estimated time, as we stopped for refreshments along the way - but hey, we’re on holidays, right?
Brilliant way to visit a city or other place. Quite easy to set up although you end up having to download two apps which is a bit confusing. Once on the phone it's easy to use. One issue was when you couldn't access the exact place (being closed for maintenance) the audio doesn't start. As this happened at the beginning of the tour when we were unfamiliar with the software, it was unhelpful. Otherwise all good and we were very pleased we used it. Just need to add more places now!
This was the perfect way to see the city at our own pace! The tour guide was wonderful. Please note there’s lots of uneven ground and going up and down hills.
Interactive map guides you as you move through the tour and when you reach the spot of interest the guide begins to speak. Nice guitar music as you walk. Read the instructions! There is a code they send you in the instructions that you need to activate the map. Pretty strenuous walk in some areas. Wish I had my hiking boots on for that but made it fine in tennis shoes.
Very complete and detailed. I loved that it detects the locations by GPS and tells you quite a bit about the history and importance of the points of interest.
The tour was beautiful. What a view. Very picturesque. Ideal for an overnight stay as a stopover
The tour with the audio guide was easy to use. You couldn’t get lost because you could visualize in real time on an interactive plane. There is only one place we couldn’t pass since it was closed. So we had to bypass the hotel in question, that’s the only thing that wasn’t indicated on the plan... the hotel was under renovation. We were able to take beautiful photos of the bridge and the beautiful panoramic view of Ronda. This is really a place to see.
Super Tour. Hat alles bestens geklappt. Eine super Möglichkeit, um eine Stadt in kurzer Zeit zu erkunden. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.
Die Buchung hat mit dem angegebenem Code nicht funktionier in der AudioApp. Support Center kontaktiert, aber leider auch mur telefonischer Hilfe kein einloggen möglich. Die Leistung konnte nicht in Anspruch genommen werden, daher die Bitte um Rückerstattung des Betrages. Freundlichst Silke Schmidt
Completo, no te pierdes ningún lugar o spot de Ronda, ir con zapatos cómodos, se camina bastante, pero vale la pena, Merece la pena hacerlo, fui con mi hijo adolescente y lo disfruto mucho, es más nos animaba a seguir caminando.
