There is a bus from Marbella into the hills that lie behind it and being that kind of hills flood the town with billions of gallons of water...did last time I was there, grief! Only guy on the beach......sat under an awning at the ice cream and coffee shop watching the waterfall gushing down the steep hill from the town to the beach, where I'd gone to escape from the rain in Malaga and then it followed me.....and that bus goes to one of Spain's natural wonders.
It's the Ronda Gorge, El Tajo, deep and dangerous.
Around there are the Ronda mountains with a lot of cliff faces and skull-crushing places to fall head first onto the rocks below and even to jump off for a few of them.
On the coast the best places are further west and there is a bus to take you there along the sunny south coast road which goes from Malaga to Algeceras and there you get the bus to Tarifa which has magnificent cliffs just east of it and a superb beach north of it with the best surfing in Europe.
It's a half day ride getting there though but the scenery on the way is good, with great views across the straits to the Rif Mountains in Morocco where we get the expression riff-raff from.
The locals in the Rif villages weren't too amused at visiting explorers coming by years ago and behaved rather unsociable-like. Complete riff-raff.
Pension Fecundo is a cheap place to stay if you fancy a night or two at Tarifa for the surf and the cliffs.
It's hot socially as well and my favourite place by the sea in Spain....I've been a lot of times now.
More about the bus on here for the change at Algeceras, which is also the changing place for Gibraltar. The coast bus is the same one that goes through Estapona.
