💡 Quick Tips
1.National law (Ley 2/2023) caps public leash length at 2 metres for all dogs; breeds legally classified as potentially dangerous (PPP) must also wear a muzzle and use a short, non-extendable lead in every public space
2.Andalusian summers are extreme, Ronda regularly exceeds 30-35°C in July and August, so walk dogs early morning or evening and avoid the stone-paved streets at midday, they radiate heat and can burn paw pads
3.The Puente Nuevo bridge and El Tajo gorge viewpoints have unguarded drops of nearly 100 metres, keep dogs on a short lead at all cliff-edge miradores
4.La Ciudad (Old Town) is cobblestoned and steep in places, fine for most dogs on a lead, but check paws afterward and go slow with senior or short-legged dogs
5.Small independent shops and vet clinics in Ronda often close for a midday break, roughly 14:00-17:00, so call ahead for a non-emergency visit rather than walking in
