Due to its elevation, Ronda enjoys a mild summer climate with cooling breezes from the mountains, making it ideal for those averse to overly hot weather. Temperatures typically peak at around 28° Celsius in the summer months, tailing off as the crowds leave towards the end of September.
Ronda is richly cultural, and not only offers some outstanding examples of Moorish and Roman architecture, but is also home to several museums, notably the Bandolero Museum, the Museum of Hunting and Peinado's Museum, named after local painter Joaquin Peinado.
There are also a number of adventurous trails and hikes into the mountainous region surrounding the town for those that prefer to stay active. Also worth checking out is the Plaza de Toros, a Neoclassical bullfighting ring still used, albeit infrequently.
The nightlife in Ronda is subdued and relaxed, much like its atmosphere and locals. There are many great restaurants in the area, serving a wide variety of local cuisine and a wider variety of locally produced wines - perfect for romantic evenings overlooking the mountains.
