Ready for a journey from Romania to sun-drenched Spain? 🚀 Here are the best stops from Port Macquarie to Ronda—with cultural gems, sultry beaches, and wild nature all packed in! Top highlights: soaking at Therme Bucuresti, epic views at El Chorro, and ancient marvels in Córdoba and Ronda. This itinerary is pure adventure-meets-relaxation.
🔥 Must-Visit Spots:
Therme Bucuresti, Balotesti (Calea Bucureşti 1K, 077015, Romania) — Open 09:00-23:00 Mon-Thur, till midnight Fri-Sun. Plan at least half a day to unwind in thermal pools! Tip: Book entry in advance, weekends get packed. Admission: ~503 RON.
Ploiesti County Museum of History and Archeology (Strada Caragiu Toma 10, Ploiesti 100042, Romania) — Open 09:00-17:00 Tue-Sun. It’s a neat stop for old-world artifacts. Don’t rush—there’s more to Ploiesti than meets the eye 🔍
Vejer de la Frontera, Playa El Palmar — This beach is chill and open all day. Locals say mornings are best for quiet vibes, sunset for Insta shots 📸
Caraorman, Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve — Nature lovers, bring bug spray and binoculars! Boat tours are the way to go for close-ups of birds and wild scenery.
Cordoba, Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba (C. Cardenal Herrero, nº 1, 14003) — Open 10:00-18:30, admission ~109 EUR. Go early to beat crowds. The architecture is jaw-dropping, don’t miss the orange tree patio.
Alora, El Chorro — Iconic for hikers and climbers. Take snacks and water; there’s limited food nearby! Trains connect from Malaga, super convenient 🚂
Ronda, Museo Lara (Calle Armiñán, 29, Ronda) — This quirky museum has cool artefacts—great for an afternoon break.
🚗 Getting Around: Use trains and buses for Spanish towns—they’re reliable and cost-effective. In Romania, cabs or app rides work well. Renting a car for the Danube Delta & Andalusia countryside is totally worth it for flexibility.
🍤 Food Hacks: Try fresh fish at El Palmar, tapas in Córdoba (La Taberna, near Mosque), and choripan in Ronda’s local bars. Currency exchange is best done in big cities for good rates.
💡 Weather & Packing: Romania can be chilly, pack a jacket! Spain is mostly warm, but bring sunblock for the beaches and water bottle for hikes.
