10. Discover Ronda Andalusia

Ronda is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in Andalusia. Situated in the mountains to the northwest of Malaga, the amazing Taco Gorge drops deeply below the town. The views from Ronda are stunning, and the old streets, squares and fountains give the town a typically Andalusian feel. Try the tapas – in my mind, second only to those in Seville.
