A sweeping climb from the coast to clifftop Ronda.
The A-397 climbs from San Pedro de Alcántara on the Costa del Sol up over the Serranía de Ronda to the dramatic clifftop town of Ronda, a long, well-surfaced sweep of bends through the sierra. A driver's favourite; watch for cyclists, slow lorries on the climbs, and goats on the open mountain.
