The secret Alto Genal valley in the Serrania de Ronda is a paradise for walkers. There are trails connecting the seven tiny pueblos blancos of the Alto Genal and we have detailed walking routes for our guests. We also have a few secret routes known only to us! There is a really great walk around Ronda which a recent guests described as “the best walk he had ever done”.
Most of the hikes are circular and involve a descent and an ascent. They vary from one to five hours, easy to moderate in difficulty.

When is the best time to walk in the Serrania de Ronda?
Walking guests come all year but the best seasons are Spring and Autumn when the temperatures are more likely to be suitable. Every season offers different wonders: Spring brings wild flowers and migrating birds; early summer, the chestnuts flower and a musky scent fills the air; in Autumn the chestnuts trees go through a spectacular palette of red and gold. And winter walking in the Ronda area can be marvellous, not too cold and often with brilliant skies when you can see as far as Africa and the Rif mountains of Morocco.
