Caminito del Tajo in Ronda: a route not to be missed

This April, in Ronda took place the inauguration of the Tajo Gorge Path. Walking this trail is a great option for those who wish to explore one of Malaga’s most emblematic natural monuments.

Whether you’re visiting the city or planning a holiday in the region, this route is a must-do that you can’t miss.

A walk among the heights and depths of the gorge

The ‘Desfiladero del Tajo‘ (Tajo Gorge Path) is the first part of an ambitious project that will allow visitors to explore Ronda’s iconic natural monument.  Specifically, it is a 250-metre linear route along the canyon walls. In this first phase, visitors will enjoy a kilometre-long walkway that will allow them to reach the base of the Puente Nuevo (New Bridge).

The second part of the remodelling will consist of the installation of a platform with which visitors will be able to walk through the gorge. Unfortunately, this part of the project is not yet available.

You can find more information in this downloadable brochure.
