Inland from Málaga – Ronda, Frigiliana, Setenil & the Caminito del Rey

This week on Travel Talk, we head inland from Málaga to discover some of Andalucía’s most fascinating and spectacular places — many of which remain well off the radar for visitors who stick to the Costa del Sol. We visit the dramatic mountain town of Ronda, explore the beautiful whitewashed village of Frigiliana, and discover the extraordinary Setenil de las Bodegas, where houses, shops and restaurants are built directly beneath huge overhanging cliffs. We also take on the spectacular Caminito del Rey, one of Spain’s most famous and breathtaking walking routes.

From dramatic gorges and mountain scenery to Moorish history, white villages, local food and extraordinary architecture, there is an incredible world waiting just beyond the coast. Andalucía is so much more than sun, sea and resorts — and this week we discover some of its best-kept secrets, all within easy reach of Málaga.
