At Reservatauro Ronda, you’ll tour a working bull and horse ranch near Ronda with a guide, visit the stables and training ring, ride through oak country, and see animals at different stages of breeding and development. English support is offered, though the format can vary by date.
“We registered for an english guided tour. Although we were provided with an audio guide and some rrading material, I wish there was an english speaking guide. Our group of 3 persons were mixed with a French speaking group with their own French speaking guide. I felt that our group was a little bit left out and could have been more interesting if there was an english speaking guide. During the ride around the ranch, I personally felt bored as the only thing I could hear was the guide from the other group which I could not understand.”

“The all show was great and beautiful. A very nice souvenir.Amazing and clever horses which seems to enjoy their work. The only problem I had was that when I contacted the Spanish Company to arrange a pick up point I was told that my name wasn't included and that I had to go by taxi which I did. Kind Regards”

“We travelled from Malaga to the stable by public transport, which takes about 2 hours. I knew in advance that the English tour guide wasn’t available, so we would get a Spanish guide. I thought this would be okay, since my Spanish is pretty good. More about this later. When we arrived, we rang the doorbell and the big gate opened. We weren’t greeted by anybody by the door (except for a very cute dog) and had to walk further onto the property to see if we could find someone. We had to strike up a conversation to confirm that the tour was happening. We think this could have been…”
