Basically, you take an AVE (high-speed train) from Barcelona to Antequera (one stop before Malaga) and a regional train from Antequera to Ronda. A round-trip ticket is about ? 130. Check dates and trains here: http://www.renfe.com/. As far as I can tell, the site is Spanish only. Cheers, Nathan Op Di, 6 augustus, 2013 09:48, schreef Nathan Wajsman: > Yes, I have been there.
