Real Ronda offers a variety of rental accommodation in and around the historic town of Ronda. Unlike travel agencies who offer rental accommodation as part of a package we have an agent on the
spot who will help should any problems arise and help you communicate any difficulties to the owner.
Ferias
The feriā of Ronda takes place from the first weekend of September and lasts for one week culminating with a bullfight in the historical Plaza de Toros where traditional costumes are worn from the period of Goya. This is called The Goyesca and is attended by people and celebrities from all over the world. The festivities last throughout the week and go on until the late hours of the morning. During late August a festival of traditional flamenco singing is held. The proceedings take place in the cool of the night and carry on until dawn with well known acts attending from all over Spain. At Easter nearly all towns hold a procession through the streets to remember the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. This week is called Semana Santa in Spain and is one of the most important dates on the Christian calendar. The feriā of Arriate takes place during the last weekend of June and again bars are evident throughout the village as well as a fun fair and music. The festivities last throughout the night.The feriās of Montejaque take place in mid June and mid August. The feriās of Benaojan are during the weekend at the end of April and the beginning of October. Throughout the summer months there is usually a feriā in one of the local villages. They all have a few things in common in that they all start at around ten in the evening and go on until dawn.
Guides can be arranged at very reasonable rates locally. Further information is provided in our guide at each property.
Swimming Pools
Most of our houses have private pools which have automatic filtration systems and do not require any maintenance by our clients. Many of the restaurants bars around Ronda have swimming pools which are available to the public for a small fee. Also most villages have municipal pools which are inexpensive and have a bar restaurant attached.
