Hundreds of legends surround the capital of the Serranía de Ronda with mystery: stories about bandits, love stories with a tragic ending, the most unusual myths ... Join us on our Free Tour Legends and Mysteries of Ronda to discover with our guide in Spanish the other side of the city.
This mysterious walk begins in the Iglesia de la Merced de Ronda, where we will tell you the dark legend of the Virgen de la Paz shirt, and one of her many miracles that brought an illustrious Ronda man back to life. We will also reveal the history of the House of 98 on Calle La Bola , the main artery of the city.
Next, we will head to the Chapel of the Executed, which was the place of last prayers, wishes and wishes of some executed who were later executed before the public. Here, we will know the origin of the popular saying "hang the sanbenito". You will be speechless!
Later, we will continue our adventure towards the Puente Nuevo , the great masterpiece of the Spanish architect Martín de Aldehuela . Ronda is also known for being a land of bandits, so we will unravel some of the most famous legends of these “ Pirates of the Serranía ” , whose incredible feats crossed borders. Among these stands out that of Bandolero Zamarrilla and the dark miracle of the white rose that accompanied him to heaven.
We will discover the Casa Rúa , also known as Villa Apolo , which is located on the outskirts of the city and in a dilapidated state. This hides within its walls the disappearance of the smallest of the family. In addition, we will reveal the most hidden secrets of La Sauceda , which in its day was a refuge for those who lived on the fringes of the law, and hides endless creepy stories. You want to know more?
We will also remember the chronicles of the nicknamed "bloodthirsty" King Abolemic , we will know what tactics the Catholic Monarchs used to conquer Ronda and we will relive some of the most intense and tragic love stories lived in the town. But not all Ronda's love stories end in tragedy, since the couples in love who accompany us will be able to seal their love for all eternity under the leaves of the “ tree of love ”!
During the activity, we will also travel to Ronda's Arab past , and talk about the Sillón del Moro , the reconquest of Ronda , and the legend of the horseshoe on the Arab Bridge from the city.
