Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at the old town: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest from August to October; quietest in January and February.

Then and now

Ronda's July days now average 31.7°C, 2.0°C warmer than in 1981–1990. 3 of 12 months are clearly warmer, 1 clearly cooler.

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

Kind of place

Ronda is in Spain, Europe. Distances are great-circle, so a short one can still be a long way round.
