About Ronda

Ronda is a mountaintop city in Spain’s Malaga province that’s set dramatically above a deep gorge. This gorge (El Tajo) separates the city’s 15th-century new town from its old town, dating to Moorish rule. Puente Nuevo, a stone bridge spanning the gorge, offers lookups and hiking trails.

💡Why Visit?

Stand on the iconic Puente Nuevo bridge, hike down the El Tajo gorge trail, and explore one of Spain's oldest bullrings.
