Marbella - ronda road districts
There are well-established residential complexes on either side of the 'Ronda Road'. This is the local name for the A-397 road that winds up from San Pedro to the popular hilltop town of Ronda. After leaving San Pedro, the road passes under the AP-7 toll road junction and begins to wind its way up the hill. On both sides of this stretch of road are the residential complexes. Many of them date from the 1980s and were extended in the 2000s. Shortly after you pass under the motorway, without realising you actually cross over the municipal boundary into Benahavis.

HISTORY OF THE RONDA ROAD - FROM THE 1870S TO PRESENT DAY.
As a point of historical interest, the original route - a mule track from the coast to Ronda - climbed up a different valley from the present road. This mule track took (and still takes) a more direct route via Istan and Fuenfria. The journey from Ronda to the coast, for both goods and people, could only be made safely under the guidance of caballerías (cavalrymen or horsemen). Read about the history of the Ronda Road
