Ronda is a beautiful and quite unknown city in Andalusia, Spain.

View from Puente Nuevo

I am not going to bore you with a lot of numbers and names you will not remember. Ronda is known for 2 sights with a history. Of course, there is more history than only these to sights, but then we will still be here in a week.

Plaza de Toros de Ronda was built in 1785. It is one of the oldest and most beautiful bullfighting ring to visit.

Puente Nuevo, which translate to New Bridge, is the newest and largest bridge that connects the two parts of Ronda together. It is the third bridge across this gorge. There is a chamber under the bridge that is used as a prison and even as a torture chamber in the civil war from 1936–1939. The bridge was built starting in 1759 and took 34 years to complete.

Location

Ronda is close by Malaga and is often visited by people staying at the Costa del Sol. The city is split in two by a 120 meters deep gorge. This creates beautiful views and an amazing walk. There are a lot of shops in the new part of Ronda and cute and dreamy squares in the old part of Ronda.
