Alfonso was our guide that day and we met him at the tour office. Being the only couple booked we piled into the van and set off on our adventure. It was really enjoyable driving through the countryside towards the Pileta Cave which was our first stop. There are stone steps leading up to the cave entrance which took me about 10 mins to climb as I had to rest a couple of times, being a Senior. Alfonso complimented me on wearing a long sleeve shirt saying it can be cold in the cave even though hot outside. The Cave was truly amazing with the guide explaining the art in different languages to accommodate everyone, lasting about 11/2 hrs. It’s incredible to think this art work has been there up to 35,000 years. No photos are permitted. Alfonso introduced us to the owner of the Cave, Jose, upon exit then took us to Restaurante Venta el Puente, Ronda for lunch and refreshments before showing us some amazing sites in and around Ronda, a truly exception place to visit. Lots of walking and climbing but this old girl kept up. We drove by White Villages which was a lovely sight to see along with some beautiful hilly countryside, even spotted some deer. Alfonso was a very competent driver and we felt safe in his hands. Thanks again for a wonderful day and happy memories. Highly recommend this tour which ended up being 10 hrs. Hope we can get back to Spain soon!!
