Renting a car (e.g. from DiscoverCars.com) offers flexibility for exploring the region. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is necessary if your license is not from an EU/EEA country. Parking in Ronda's center can be challenging; use underground garages.
Ronda is an inland town, not directly served by sea or river transportation. Major ferry services and cruise ports in Andalusia locate along the coast, including Malaga, Algeciras (connecting to Morocco), and Cadiz.
No significant river transportation options exist for reaching Ronda. The Guadalevín River, which carves the El Tajo gorge, is not navigable for passenger transport. The experience of ascending and descending its hills comes purely from walking.
