15th of October: day trip to Ronda from Seville
–
8:45am: meet your personal driver at your accommodation in Seville and be transferred in a modern and comfortable Mercedes minivan to Ronda old town.

10:30am: upon arrival to Ronda, meet your personal local host and enjoy a private guided tour of its bullring (the oldest in Spain).

This tour will allow you to learn about the origins and evolution of bullfighting in Spain, while you see the different sections of the bullring, from the pens where the bulls are kept before the fight, to the arena where the actual fight takes place, from the chapel where the matadors say their prayers before the fight, to the areas where the audience and the bullring authorities sit. You will also be explained about brave bull breeding and about how different bullrings choose different bulls with different characteristics for their fights.

After your tour of the bullring, enjoy a private walking tour of Ronda old town with a special focus on its history, most representative landmarks, viewpoints and picturesque locations.
This private walking tour of Ronda old town will give you an excellent overview of the Hispanic-Muslim origins of the city and of the transformations that it started to experience in 1485 when it was conquered by Christians. It was then when many wealthy military orders settled down in Ronda in order to defend its strategic location near the straits of Gibraltar and very well connected to the main Southern Spanish cities. These new inhabitants erected many noble residences and funded the construction of impressive religious constructions too. In the 18th century Ronda experienced a time of maximum splendour and its main landmark was built: the majestic New Bridge, which you will visit during your tour.
Ronda also has stunning nature in its surroundings and your tour will take you to the best viewpoints. This will allow you to understand why this whitewashed gem attracted so many romantic travellers in the 19th century during their Grand Tour and the impact that their written, drawn and painted portraits of Andalusia had in the international perception of Spain in the following decades until today.

1:30pm: end of your tour of Ronda and free time for lunch at leisure and to maybe explore the town a little bit further on your own.

3pm: after lunch, reconnect with your private driver and be transferred to a selected local winery in the surroundings of Ronda.

3:15pm: upon arrival to the winery, start a private tour aimed at understanding the very particular local wine scene of Ronda, where winemakers share a common approach to winemaking based on quality vs quantity. Ronda has proved to be an excellent area for the cultivation of very many different grapes from different parts of the world and this is allowing for the production of excellent wines, often organic and biodynamic, that you will get to taste at the end of your private tour.

4:45pm: end of your private tour of the winery and private transfer back to your hotel in Seville.

6:30pm: arrival to your hotel in Seville and end of services for the day.
