Ronda
Spain · Andalusia · 723 m
Description
Ronda is one of Andalusia's most impressive cities and ranks among the most beautiful historic destinations in Spain. Perched on a rocky plateau, the city is renowned for its spectacular setting above the deep El Tajo Gorge, spanned by the magnificent Puente Nuevo. Ronda captivates visitors with its picturesque old town, the Plaza de Toros, one of Spain's oldest and most important bullrings, the well preserved Arab Baths, and the Palacio de Mondragón. Moorish heritage, whitewashed houses, winding streets, and breathtaking viewpoints give the city its distinctive character. As the gateway to the famous Pueblos Blancos and the wine region of the Serranía de Ronda, Ronda is also an ideal base for exploring the Andalusian countryside.
