We recommend visiting the vineyards of Finca La Melonera in Ronda for a leisurely outing, where you can partake in a bespoke wine-tasting tour, learn about the different grape varieties and visit the barrel room, and the tour concludes after two hours with an actual wine-tasting accompanied by a selection of different tapas.  Another must-see attraction in Ronda is the awe-inspiring Puente Nuevo bridge, which connects the modern part of the city with the Moorish part.
