Visit a Bull and Horse Breeding Farm (including Ronda free time)

Private Ronda Bull & Andalusian Horse Farm Tour from Malaga or Marbella

Experience authentic Andalusian countryside on a private day trip from Malaga, Marbella, or the Costa del Sol. Visit a traditional Ronda estate dedicated to Spanish fighting bulls and Andalusian horses, spend time exploring the historic town of Ronda.

What You’ll Experience

This private tour is a unique opportunity to experience the Andalusian countryside beyond the usual tourist route. You will visit a traditional estate near Ronda where Spanish fighting bulls and Andalusian horses are bred in open pastureland, learn about rural traditions, enjoy tapas with local Ronda wine, and then continue into Ronda for time to explore one of Andalusia’s most spectacular towns.

The experience is cultural, scenic, and educational. It is ideal for travelers who want to understand a very traditional part of Andalusian country life while also visiting Ronda, famous for its dramatic gorge, Puente Nuevo bridge, historic bullring, and old town.

🐂 Spanish fighting bulls in the Andalusian countryside

The first part of the day takes you to a countryside estate where visitors can observe the different stages of the Spanish fighting bull breeding process in a natural setting. You may see breeding cows, calves, young bulls, and mature bulls in the pastureland, while learning about the history, selection, and care of these animals.

The visit is conducted from the estate’s own vehicles and accompanied by farm staff, giving you a close but safe view of the animals and the landscape where they are raised.

During the farm visit, you may learn about:

• The role of the mayoral, the traditional cattle caretaker
• The breeding and selection process of fighting bulls
• The open pastureland environment where the animals live
• The connection between Ronda, bullfighting history, and Andalusian rural culture
• The flora and fauna of the surrounding countryside

🐎 Andalusian horses and rural tradition

The estate is also home to elegant Andalusian horses. You may see mares with their foals running freely in the fields and learn about the importance of the Andalusian horse in southern Spanish culture.

For many guests, this is one of the most memorable parts of the visit: a peaceful rural landscape, open fields, horses, bulls, and the slower rhythm of the Andalusian countryside.

🌉 Time in Ronda

After the countryside visit, we continue to the historic town of Ronda, one of the most beautiful and dramatic towns in Andalusia.

Ronda sits above the famous El Tajo Gorge, which divides the old Moorish town from the newer part of the city. Its most iconic landmark is the Puente Nuevo, the stone bridge spanning the gorge and offering some of the most spectacular views in southern Spain.

Depending on timing, you will have approximately one hour to explore Ronda at your own pace or follow your driver-guide’s recommendations.

Highlights in Ronda may include:

• The Puente Nuevo bridge and El Tajo Gorge
• The historic Plaza de Toros, one of Spain’s oldest bullrings
• The old Moorish quarter and scenic viewpoints
• The Arab Baths, old city walls, and historic gates
• Local cafés, shops, and photo stops
