Welcome to the unforgettable city of Ronda! One of the most visited places in Southern Spain, Ronda is a true wonder. The city consists of two parts: the old Moorish town and the "newer" part called Mercadillo. These are separated by the 100 m (328 ft) deep El Tajo Gorge and connected by the famous 18th-century Puente Nuevo Bridge, one of the most photographed sites in Spain.
Ronda is the birthplace of Francisco Romero, considered the father of modern bullfighting. The city is home to Spain's oldest bullring, the Real Maestranza, which can hold up to 5000 people. Built in the 18th century, the bullring offers guided tours and includes the Real Maestranza Museum.
Next to the old city walls, you'll find Spain's best-preserved Arabic baths, Banos Arabes, dating back to the 13th century. The baths feature hot, medium, and cold rooms and a stunning star-shaped vent in the ceiling.
Add the Jardines de Cuenca garden to your Ronda itinerary. The garden hangs over the canyon with terraces planted with palm trees and succulents. It's an ideal spot for a picnic or a nap under the sky.
No trip to Ronda is complete without exploring the local wineries. The Serrania de Ronda has been producing wine since Roman times and is known for its exquisite reds. Be sure to visit the Descalzos Viejos winery.
Enjoy a stroll along the old Paseo E Hemingway, take in the breathtaking views, and soak up the bright Spanish sun.
