Before you go

Busy with coast traffic on summer weekends and around San Pedro; early morning is best. Ronda's gorge bridge is worth the stop before you set off.

Which way round

Downhill from Ronda to the coast, so the views open up ahead of you.

When it’s open

Normally open all year, though snow can close it for a day or two.
