Info

Today we’re visiting the mountaintop town of Ronda in the Málaga province of Andalusia, in the south of Spain. First settled by the Celts and later inhabited by the Romans and Moors, this dramatic cliffside setting is split in two by the El Tajo gorge, a rocky drop plummeting 120 metres to the Guadalevín River. There are three bridges that span the gorge, the largest and newest of which features in the centre of our homepage image and is appropriately called Puente Nuevo (New Bridge). Despite its name, the bridge is more than couple of centuries old – it was completed in 1793 and connects the Moorish old town, La Ciudad, with the new town, El Mercadillo.
