Getting the most out of your hire car time in Spain
Travelling in the South of Spain is
a matter of covering a fair distance between really wonderful

views and the graceful Arabesque architecture all combine

You could, for example, head out West towards
Ronda. Set in the deep El Tajo gorge, this ancient Muslim
town stands on the edge of a cliff above the Rio Guadalevin.
Don’t miss the famous bull ring, or the September Feria de
Pedro Romero.Accommodation can be a problem in busy festival
periods, so book ahead. If you refer to our Malaga and Southern
Spain
"Places to Stay" page, you'll find main hotels in Ronda

Getting your wheels organised
As in most parts of Spain, your British licence

take a look at our
driving regulations page. |

most attractive destinations in southern Spain.
