Visit the old town and the bull ring.<BR>Take a walk down the gorge and across the open fields.<BR>Have dinner at Alavera de los banos hotel at bottom of old town.<BR>Go to Seville for a couple of days...or go to Granada for a couple of days.<BR>Take a tour of the White Villages which are close to the town.<BR>Drive to the coast. <BR>Read Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" for a description of the Massacre of local 'fascists' over the gorge... to get some local history<BR>Ronda isn't the biggest of places, but I spent a very enjoyble 4 days here last year. <BR>

I wouldn't spend a whole week in Ronda. I would spend about 2 days there then go to Seville or Malaga. Stay in the Parador de Ronda. It's right on the gorge and there is a spectacular view. Also, Ronda is famous for their furniture and linens. I bought a beautiful hand embroidered tablecloth there. Also there is a leather shop there that has some beautiful things if you're getting gifts for anyone. I do agree though that you'll run out of things to do after about 2 days. Go to Seville. You'll love the drive.

Granada is <3 hours by train.<BR><BR>There is some decent nightlife in Ronda. If you want to base yourself there there are many daytrips you could make, e.g. to Grazalema or Zahara. Cold at night though.<BR><BR>I agree with the others though, 2-3 days there would be fine but you might as well move on for a few other nights elsewhere in Andalucia
