For some other attractions it's cheaper to buy the ticket at the tourist office than at the door. We visted the Plaza de Toros but nothing else, since we only had a day to spend there we walked and walked and walked to visit the historical centre, the Tajo, the rest of the centre, the Mirador: the environment and the views are the best things about Ronda and they are absolutely free.
