Ronda

Perch on the edge of wonder in Ronda, the most spectacularly situated town in Andalusia, where the deep El Tajo gorge slices the landscape in two, bridged by the iconic 18th-century Puente Nuevo (New Bridge)—a 120-meter-high stone masterpiece that offers dizzying views down to the Guadalevín River far below, while the perfectly preserved old town on one side and the modern town on the other unfold with whitewashed streets, Moorish palaces, and the oldest bullring in Spain (Plaza de Toros de Ronda, built in 1785). Wander the atmospheric Arab baths, the elegant Palacio de Mondragón with its lush gardens and Mudejar patio, the historic Plaza del Socorro, or hike the dramatic gorge paths for panoramic views of the bridge and surrounding Serranía de Ronda mountains—all in a compact, walkable town that perfectly blends ancient Roman, Moorish, and Christian history with jaw-dropping natural drama and warm Andalusian hospitality.

Savor rich rabo de toro (oxtail stew), fresh gazpacho, sweet migas with chorizo, and crisp Ronda red wines amid cliffside terraces, sunset glow over the gorge, and the unmistakable sense of a place where the earth itself seems to open in awe.

Ronda isn’t just a destination—it’s Andalusia’s most dramatic clifftop masterpiece of history, bridges, and breathtaking beauty—plan your Ronda escape today!
