Departure from Madrid by van for those who have purchased the trip with transportation. Departure time is 7:00 a.m. and estimated arrival in Ronda is 12:00 p.m.
The starting point for the first activity is in the city of Ronda, where we will meet the entire group.

1st Via Ferrata (Beginner Level)
This via ferrata is located at the foot of the Ronda Bridge, which will amaze us with its views. It served the workers who were building masonry walls in the 1930s, after part of the Tajos collapsed and fell on top of the Mills, burying some people. A spectacular via ferrata, perfect for adventurers who want to delve into this vertical world. Its nearly 80 meters high and 120 meters long route will allow us to practice basic progression maneuvers and ascend it correctly.
Vertical gain: 80 m
Distance: 120 m
Approach time: 20 min.
Itinerary: 2 hours
Descent: 10 min.
Once we've completed the first via ferrata, and you're sure to be hungry, we'll head to the second meeting point, where we'll enjoy a large picnic lunch.
In the afternoon, we'll take a tour of Ronda to visit its streets and buildings.
After a tiring day, we'll head to the Hotel Almají for dinner, a succulent traditional dish, and then we can rest in their rooms for the next day's activities.
Day 2: Benalauría Via Ferrata and Benadalid Via Ferrata
After refueling with breakfast, we'll head to the second highlight of the weekend.

3rd Via Ferrata (Intermediate Level) Benadalid Ferrata
