Ronda’s most striking feature is the Puente Nuevo, which spans a gorge over 300 feet deep. Can you guess when the "new bridge" was built? 1793. That should give visitors an idea of how unchanged Ronda has been over the years. It’s also known as the birthplace of modern bullfighting. The town’s bullfighting ring is only used once a year, at the Feria Goyesca, but it’s also a museum where you can learn about the history of this traditional (yet controversial) sport.

The bullring is open to the general public all year round and the visit includes the Bullfighting Museum, the Royal Harness Collection and the Antique Firearms Collection.Corporacion nobiliaria cuyos origenes se remontan a 1572, la Real Maestranza mantiene en la actualidad un patrimonio historico y artistico unico en Espana por su singularidad y caracter, relacionado con el mundo de la caballeria, la equitacion y la tauromaquia. Bajo los tendidos de su monumental Plaza de Toros, que data de finales del siglo XVIII, se encuentran la Sala de Tauromaquia y las colecciones de Guarnicioneria y Armas de Fuego Antiguas, en su conjunto un importante reclamo turisticos en el casco historico de la romantica ciudad de Ronda, a escasa distancia de Malaga y la Costa del Sol, y accesible todos los dias del ano en horario ininterrumpido.
I am so glad this was a suggestion to us as it was not well advertised around the town. The whole area is well laid out and clean. The history of the arena, shown through an audio display, is interested and well documented. All of the displays are well written and the audio commentary is timely and well done. This tour can be done at your own leisure and there are spots to sit and relax and experience the atmosphere of the first bull ring in Spain. A fantastic afternoon. The walk along the cliff edge is well worth the effort...... the views are so so stunning.

Visiting Ronda, one cannot miss a quick stop at "Alameda del Tajo"! It is a public park, opened in the beginning of the 19th century, with some fo the most beautiful views of the awesome "Serranía de Ronda" (Ronda's mountain range). It is easily reachable from Ronda's "Plaza de Toros" and no entry fee is charged. Get your cameras ready! Enjoy!

Our American visitors love Ronda and the Roman Bridge and the gorge are the biggest attractions. Not only can you walk across the bridge but there are plenty of ancillary places to visit. However, the center attraction is the bridge.

Interesting old house with original furniture from previous century. Well worth to visit. But don't forget to spend some time in a beautiful garden with best possible views.

You are visiting today's "Plaza de la Duquesa de Parcent" in the "La Ciudad" district of Ronda. This same area was the very site of the famous "Medina de Ronda", the most important part of this city during the Moorish years. After the Christian Reconquest in 1485, it became simply the "Plaza Mayor". As a proof of its historical importance, "Plaza de la Duquesa de Parcent" houses some of the most important buildings of Ronda, such as the "Ayuntamiento de Ronda" (former military barracks and prison), the "Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor" (former Jameh Mosque of Ronda), the "Convento de la Caridad de las Hermanas de la Cruz (Convent of the Sisters of Charity) and the "Convento de Clarisas de Santa Isabel de los Ángeles (Convent of the Poor Clares). So, take your time and stroll along, lovely gardens and leafy trees await your visit. There is indeed a lot of history in this beautiful and inspiring "Plaza de la Duquesa de Parcent". Enjoy!

A little town on top of a beautiful gorge, feels like a different world. During the day, the tour buses come and go, it can get very busy. But before 9am the town is a complete different story; tranquil, dreamy, the air is clean & crisp. Since it's so high up, it's alway a bit cold event on July.
