This town in the province of Malaga is split in two by the Tajo del Ronda, a gorge more than 150 meters deep. Its old town has been declared a Property of Cultural Interest. This territory was occupied by the Celts, Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs and was finally reconquered by Catholic Monarchs.
The old town, with Arab reminiscences and medieval layout, extends to the south of the Guadalevín while the modern town, which emerged from the 16th century, unfolds to the north of this river. Several bridges connect the two halves of Ronda, one of the most interesting towns located on the route of the Pueblos Blancos (the white villages), in the heart of the Sierra de Ronda, a few kilometers from the Costa del Sol.
At the level of the civil architecture of Ronda, we will notice the stately homes and the mansions of the aristocracy. The palaces of Mondragón and the Marquis of Salvatierra and the Casa del Moro are some fine examples. The first of these palaces hosted Muslim and Christian kings for centuries; it now houses the city's archaeological museum. We will admire in the former palace of the Marquis of Salvatierra its wrought iron balcony in the purest style of Ronda. The Casa del Rey Moro is decorated in a Gothic and Mudejar style; it is surrounded by hanging gardens, classified as artistic gardens. The highwayman's museum (bandolero), the hunting museum and the Lara museum complete a visit to this part of the city.
The Arab bridge, the Old bridge and the New bridge
Three bridges cross a precipice more than 100 meters deep and lead to the other end of the city. The Arab bridge, built in the 14th century, provided access to the Arrabal Viejo (the old suburb). As for the Old Bridge, it consists of a single arch some 10 meters in diameter. The Pont Neuf is the most spectacular of all: a colossal work of engineering linking the Mercadillo districts to the city. Dating from the 18th century, its foundations rest on the base of the precipice. In various places, its height reaches 98 meters, and its length is 70 meters.
Ronda puts on its most beautiful finery on the occasion of the city's festivities, so many opportune moments to come and visit it. The Pedro Romero fiestas, with their Goya-style bullfights and flamenco music festival, are highly regarded, as are Holy Week, the Reconquista fiestas and the romería de Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza.
The white villages scattered in the Sierra de Ronda, of Arab origin, are characterized by the harmonious integration of traditional architecture within a natural environment of rare beauty. In addition, other localities in the region are renowned for their Phoenician (Jimena de Líbar) or Roman (Acinipo) ruins. Algatocín and Atajate, amidst olive groves and vineyards, are clearly Moorish in essence. The Ronda region is part of the so-called humid Andalusia, where the landscapes are made up of a great botanical variety, as can be seen in the natural parks of Sierra de las Nieves, Sierra Bermeja and Sierra Crestellina . The coastline is a stone's throw away, with its leisure centers of Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Marbella and Estepona.
