Ronda

Ronda stands on a mighty outcropping, which made it impregnable to the Christian armies until the very last years of the re-conquest. This plateau is slashed into two main quarters by a deep cleft in the rock, spanned by the 18th century 'Puente Nuevo' or New Bridge. Modern Ronda is the quarter to the North of the gorge, called El Mercadillo, with the Plaza de España, the site of Ronda's recently built Parador, the spectacular walkway along the river gorge with superb views of the countryside below. This walkway leads to Ronda's lovely 'Mirador', with colourful flower beds and a railing for sightseers to lean against as they gaze into the distance. Just behind the charming Mirador is Ronda's famous bullring, one of the most beautiful and ancient arenas in Spain, made famous in the 18th century by a local bullfighter. You can walk from the Plaza de España and the bullring up the Calle Nueva, Ronda's pedestrian shopping district, where shops still retain their traditional style.
