Ronda
Ronda is a small town in the mountains of Andalusia, about 100 km from Málaga. It is built on both sides of a deep gorge, and a famous stone bridge joins the old and new parts of town.
Ronda suits one or two nights of views, history and quiet streets. Most day visitors leave in the afternoon, so the evening and early morning are calm.

Spectacular Viewpoints and Peaks
Ronda’s unique geography is defined by the Tajo gorge, a 120-meter deep limestone chasm carved by the Guadalevín River. This collection features the town’s iconic balconies, such as the Mirador de Aldehuela and the Alameda del Tajo viewpoints, which offer direct views of the 18th-century Puente Nuevo. Beyond the urban center, the list extends into the Sierra de las Nieves, encompassing prominent peaks like Cancho de Blanquilla and Cerro de las Monjas, known for their rugged karst landscapes and panoramic vistas across the Serranía de Ronda.

Jídlo a pití
Ronda is known for rabo de toro, a slow-cooked oxtail stew, and for game and lamb dishes from the mountains. Small vineyards around Ronda make local wines.
The best places to eat are in the streets near the Plaza del Socorro and the bullring.
Bezpečnost a zdraví
Ronda is very safe. Walk carefully near the edge of the gorge, where fences are low in places. Summer sun is strong, so carry water.
Historie
Ronda was a Roman and then a Moorish town. The baths and the old town walls date from the Moorish period. Christian forces took the town in 1485.
The old bridge and the new bridge show two periods. The new bridge, New Bridge, was built in the 18th century, and the bullring, Plaza de Toros de Ronda, is from the same period. Ronda is known as the home of modern bullfighting.
