Ronda, Spain - Puente Arabe & Puente Viejo over El Tajo Gorge
These are the two older adjoining bridges that are further down below the more prominent Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) which connects old Ronda with the more modern area. The newer bridge affords more spectacular, sweeping views, as well. But, these two more ancient bridges are still unique and fascinating in their own way, boasting a very rich history: they are the original Old Bridge (Puente Viejo), then the later-built Puente Arabe (or Old Arab Bridge). All 3 bridges span the magnificent El Tajo Gorge and Guadalevin River.
Puente Árabe o de las Curtidurías, Ronda (Málaga)
Puente de origen árabe datado en el siglo trece. Fue uno de los primeros puntos de unión entre los dos extremos del Tajo de Ronda. Fue construido en el punto más accesible del tajo y permitió la expansión de la ciudad al otro margen conocido como Barrio de San Francisco. La idea era dar acceso al ganado para poder abrevar en el Río Guadalevín.
En Ronda es conocido popularmente como el Puente Romano a pesar de su origen árabe. En tiempos tuvo una Puerta amurallada y una torre barbacana. Está hecho de lajas de piedras y está a 12 metros sobre el río Guadalevín. Tiene un sólo arco ligeramente apuntado.
Con el tiempo en esta zona se instalaron los artesanos que trabajaban los textiles, por lo que recibió el nombre de Puente de las Curtidurías.

Puente Viejo, Ronda (Málaga)
Su primera referencia histórica es la reconstrucción tras la reconquista de Ronda por los Reyes Católicos a finales del siglo quince, pero su origen es discutido. Para unos es romano y reconstruido por los árabes, aunque para la mayoría de autores es de construcción musulmana. Se asienta sobre el conglomerado rocoso del lecho del río y consta de un solo arco de 10 metros de diámetro y 31 de alto. Daba entrada a la ciudad por la antigua Puerta de la Puente y la comunicaba con el barrio del Mercadillo.

PUENTE ÁRABE EN RONDA, MÁLAGA.
Puente Nuevo, Ronda, Andalusia, Spain (Malaga) - FullHD - Filmed with a drone 2017.
EN: The Puente Nuevo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpwente ˈnweβo], New Bridge) is the newest and largest of three bridges that span the 120-metre (390 ft)-deep chasm that carries the Guadalevín River and divides the city of Ronda, in southern Spain. The architect was José Martin de Aldehuela, who died in Málaga in 1802. The chief builder was Juan Antonio Díaz Machuca.
The construction was started in 1751 and took 42 years to build. Fifty workers were killed during its construction. There is a chamber above the central arch that was used for a variety of purposes, including as a prison. During the 1936-1939 civil war both sides allegedly used the prison as a torture chamber for captured opponents, killing some by throwing them from the windows to the rocks at the bottom of the El Tajo gorge. The chamber is entered through a square building that was once the guard-house. It now contains an exhibition describing the bridge's history and construction.

RU: Пуэ́нте-Нуэ́во (исп. Puente Nuevo — «Новый мост») — мост XVIII века высотой 98 м через реку Гуадалевин в городе Ронде в андалусской провинции Малага. Одна из главных туристических достопримечательностей города. Каменный трёхарочный мост — один из трёх, перекинутых через ущелье Тахо де Ронда глубиной 120 м.
Мост был построен по проекту испанского архитектора Хосе Мартина де Альдеуэлы, который также спроектировал арену для боя быков в Ронде.
Строительство продолжалось с 1759 по 1793 год. В 1735 году на этом месте за восемь месяцев был возведён одноарочный мост по другому проекту, который рухнул уже в 1740 году и повлёк гибель около пятидесяти человек.

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:
As always, Ed is the one doing the camcorder video filming & narration, while I do the still photos, choose the music, then edit it all & upload to You Tube.

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.

Centro de Interpretación del Puente Nuevo, Ronda (Málaga)
En este Centro de Interpretación veremos cómo se construyó el Puente, nos representará su imagen a lo largo de la Historia, nos mostrará su relación con el paisaje, con la ciudad y con su gente... todo ello a través de paneles y un montaje audiovisual que dura unos 4 minutos.
En definitiva, nos presentará un Puente que se ha convertido en un símbolo, en un constructor de imágenes. Y es que, según se interpreta, es un Puente vivo, que nos habla, que nos lleva a un lugar que siempre está al otro lado. Pero sólo algunos puentes nos llevan más allá de su estructura y de sus pilares, donde varan escritores, soñadores y creadores, allá donde se construyen las imágenes del sueño y de la imaginación.

Ronda, Spain - El Tajo Gorge & Puente Nuevo Bridge
The Puente Nuevo Bridge is also called the New Bridge since it is the newer of the 3 bridges that span the El Tajo Gorge (and Guadalevín River). It is a stunning piece of work and the views from it are spectacular, as are the views below looking up toward the bridge. We spent 3 wonderful days in Ronda and this was definitely one of the major highlights of the trip.

The Amazing Ronda, Spain! Puente Nuevo New Bridge Best Places to Visit in Spain
The Summer 2018 road trip continues to the amazing city of Ronda, Spain! For years Ronda has been a favorite of mine and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go back. The historic Puente Nuevo bridge spans a four hundred foot gorge and connects the two sides of the beautiful city, offering stunning views for the many tourists that roll through the town to take in its majesty.
The cliffwalk starts at the edge of the Old Town and continues on past the bullring -- bringing you to the main attraction, the old bridge itself. You can explore inside the bridge, but of course, the views from the outside will take your breath away.
We manage to find our way down into the chasm, with a few dangerous trails involved, offering some magnificent panoramic views of the bridge and the cliff-side city from below.
Any holiday to Spain should include a tirp to Ronda, especially if Spanish History is your thing. If you like some beautiful countryside, too, then the drive in to Ronda will delight you. Not too much over an hour from the Costa del Sol,we drive the mountain roads which lead into Ronda - and you can drive along with us to open this video!
Enjoy the travels! Enjoy Spain and enjoy some of Europe's best destinations!!! Ah yeah.
