Explore the city of Ronda, Spain
Join Mark as he tours the mountainous city of Ronda. A blend of old and new, this historic town is home of the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain and is famous worldwide for its dramatic views.
Visit Ronda Andalusian City in Spain
Ronda is a city in the Spanish province of Málaga. It is located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of the city of Málaga, within the autonomous community of Andalusia. Its population is approximately 35,000 inhabitants.
Ronda is situated in a very mountainous area about 750 m above mean sea level. The Guadalevín River runs through the city, dividing it in two and carving out the steep, 100 plus meters deep El Tajo canyon upon which the city perches. The Spanish Fir (Abies pinsapo) is endemic to the mountains surrounding Ronda.
Main sights:
View in Ronda looking toward the Church of Santa Maria la Mayor, The Puente Nuevo bridge in Ronda, The view from Ronda, Plaza del Socorro, Outside the Ronda Bullring
Interior of the Ronda Bullring
Three bridges, Puente Romano (Roman Bridge, also known as the Puente San Miguel), Puente Viejo (Old Bridge, also known as the Puente Árabe or Arab Bridge) and Puente Nuevo (New Bridge), span the canyon. The term nuevo is a bit of a misnomer, as the building of this bridge commenced in 1751 and took until 1793 to complete. The Puente Nuevo is the tallest of the bridges, towering 120 metres (390 ft) above the canyon floor, and all three serve as some of the city's most impressive features. The former town hall, which sits next to the Puente Nuevo, is the site of a parador, and has a view of the Tajo canyon.
The ‘Corrida Goyesca’ is a unique and historical bullfight that takes place once a year in Ronda in the Plaza de toros de Ronda, the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain.[4] It was built in 1784 in the Neoclassical style by the architect José Martin de Aldehuela, who also designed the Puente Nuevo.
The partially intact Baños árabes (Arab baths) are found below the city and date back to the 13th and 14th centuries.

Ronda, Spain - Baños árabes de Ronda (old Arab Baths)
The partially intact Baños árabes (Arab baths) are found below the city of Ronda, Spain and date back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The old Puente Arabe (bridge) nearby may have been built around the same time.
At the time Ronda was under Moorish (Muslim) rule and baths were an important spiritual ritual for them. A clean body was necessary to enter a mosque and there was a mosque originally near the baths location.
Fascinating history to experience up close, there was even a small public video room to watch a presentation. For more information on baths of this type, check out this link:

Mysterious Mines of Ronda, Spain - La Casa del Rey Moro, the Mines, and Moorish Gardens
We've already traveled to and explored the old Puente de Nuevo bridge of Ronda, Spain in a previous video of our Summer 2018 adventures, but there's still more to see in the beautiful and historic Ronda! Impressive enough that the city is built on 400 foot cliffs, but on the back-side of the city you can explore the inner tunnels of those cliffs from the entrance at Palacio del Rey Moro - said to be home to the Moorish king.
The gardens are beautiful and the tunnels impressive. Lots of history there, as the tunnels lead down to the water mine located on the waterline deep within the gorge.
Secret rooms, lots of stairs - dark, damp - it's old Spain at its best and one of Ronda's best attractions, aside from the famous bridge itself.
Jump on the adventure with us as we explore the Ronda mines and the gardens of this beautiful old Spanish city.
Enjoy! Subscribe to the Good Life.

The Islamic domination ended in 1485, when it was conquered by the Spanish. Subsequently, mostly of the city's old walls, gates. mosques and public buildings were renewed or adapted to Christian roles, while numerous others were built in newly-created quarters such as Mercadillo and San Francisco.

Ronda is one of the most beautiful and most visited cities in Spain and is always visited by those who have a vacation at the Costa del Sol.
To remember:
- Palacio de los Marqueses de Moctezuma a testimony of the presence in Ronda of the heirs of the Aztec emperor Moctezuma and a symbol of the union between Spain and Latin America,
- Church of Santa Maria La Mayor, built between15-17 centuries in different styles: Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque; before that there was a Roman temple and then a mosque.
At the end of the walk we passed again over the spectacular Puente Nuevo bridge, below which is the precipice.
Visiting Ronda in Andalusia, Spain
Ronda was one of my first stops in my tour of southern Spain last year, and is located in the Andalusia region. The city of Ronda is in the Spanish province of Málaga. It is located about 62 miles west of the city of Málaga.
Ronda is situated in a very mountainous area, one of the most striking things about the city is the gorge, and the bridges that connect the old city with the new. It's definitely worth a visit.

RONDA, SPAIN - travel shorts
Perched on an inland plateau riven by the 100m fissure of El Tajo gorge, Ronda is Málaga province’s most spectacular town. It has a superbly dramatic location, and owes its name (‘surrounded’ by mountains), to the encircling Serranía de Ronda.
Established in the 9th century BC, Ronda is also one of Spain’s oldest towns. Its existing old town, La Ciudad (the City), largely dates back to Islamic times, when it was an important cultural centre filled with mosques and palaces. Its wealth as a trading depot made it an attractive prospect for bandits and profiteers and the town has a colourful and romantic past in Spanish folklore.
Ronda was a favourite with the Romantics of the late 19th century, and has attracted an array of international artists and writers, such as David Wilkie, Alexandre Dumas, Rainer Maria Rilke, Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles.

Ronda, Province of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain, Europe
Ronda is a city in the Spanish province of Málaga. It is located about 100 km (62 mi) west of the city of Málaga, within the autonomous community of Andalusia. Its population is about 35,000 inhabitants. Around the city are remains of prehistoric settlements dating to the Neolithic Age, including the rock paintings of Cueva de la Pileta. Ronda was, however, first settled by the early Celts, who called it Arunda in the sixth century BC. Later Phoenician settlers established themselves nearby to found Acinipo, known locally as Ronda la Vieja, Arunda, or Old Ronda. The current Ronda is of Roman origins,[1] having been founded as a fortified post in the Second Punic War, by Scipio Africanus. Ronda received the title of city at the time of Julius Caesar. In the fifth century AD, Ronda was conquered by the Suebi, led by Rechila, being reconquered in the following century by the Eastern Roman Empire, under whose rule Acinipo was abandoned. Later, the Visigoth king Leovigild captured the city. Ronda was part of the Visigoth realm until 713, when it fell to the Berbers, who named it Hisn Ar-Rundah (Castle of Rundah) and made it the capital of the Takurunna province. It was the hometown of the polymath Abbas Ibn Firnas (810-887), an inventor, engineer, alleged aviator, physician, Muslim poet, and Andalusian musician. After the disintegration of the caliphate of Córdoba, Ronda became the capital of a small kingdom ruled by the Berber Banu Ifran, the taifa of Ronda. During this period, Ronda gained most of its Islamic architectural heritage. In 1065, Ronda was conquered by the taifa of Seville led by Abbad II al-Mu'tadid. Both the poet Salih ben Sharif al-Rundi (1204-1285) and the Sufi scholar Ibn Abbad al-Rundi (1333-1390) were born in Ronda. The Islamic domination of Ronda ended in 1485, when it was conquered by the Marquis of Cádiz after a brief siege. Subsequently, most of the city's old edifices were renewed or adapted to Christian roles, while numerous others were built in newly created quarters such as Mercadillo and San Francisco. The Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda was founded in the town in 1572. The Spanish Inquisition affected the Muslims living in Spain greatly. Shortly after 1492, when the last outpost of Muslim presence in the Iberian Peninsula, Granada, was conquered, the Spanish decreed that all Muslims must either vacate the peninsula without their belongings or convert. Many people overtly converted to keep their possessions while secretly practicing their religion. Muslims who converted were called Moriscos. They were required to wear upon their caps and turbans a blue crescent. Traveling without a permit meant a death sentence. This systematic suppression forced the Muslims to seek refuge in mountainous regions of southern Andalusia; Ronda was one such refuge. On May 25, 1566, Philip II decreed the use of the Arabic language (written or spoken) illegal, required that doors to homes remain open on Fridays to verify that no Muslim Friday prayers were conducted, and levied heavy taxes on Morisco trades. This led to several rebellions, one of them in Ronda under the leadership of Al-Fihrey. Al-Fihrey's defeated the Spanish army sent to suppress them under the leadership of Alfonso de Aguilar. The massacre of the Spaniards prompted Phillip II to order the expulsion of all Moriscos in Ronda. In the early 19th century, the Napoleonic invasion and the subsequent Peninsular War caused much suffering in Ronda, whose inhabitants were reduced from 15,600 to 5,000 in three years. Ronda's area became the base first of guerrilla warriors, then of numerous bandits, whose deeds inspired artists such as Washington Irving, Prosper Mérimée, and Gustave Doré. In the 19th century, the economy of Ronda was mainly based on agricultural activities. In 1918, the city was the seat of the Assembly of Ronda, in which the Andalusian flag, coat of arms, and anthem were designed. Ronda's Romero family from Francisco, born in 1698, to his son Juan, to his famous grandson Pedro, who died in 1839 played a principal role in the development of modern Spanish bullfighting. In a family responsible for such innovations as the use of the cape, or muleta, and a sword especially designed for the kill, Pedro in particular transformed bullfighting into an art and a skill in its own right, and not simply ... a clownishly macho preamble to the bull's slaughter. Ronda was heavily affected by the Spanish Civil War, which led to emigration and depopulation.
