Ronda, Spain

The town of Ronda is located in the province of Malaga in Spain. It is located at an altitude of about 760 meters above sea level in a very beautiful and inaccessible mountainous area. Guadalevin River flows through the town. This makes the atmosphere even more unique here. The very first town was formed in this mountainous area during the Roman Empire. Its visitors can admire historical monuments of various eras today. You can enter the town via one of three bridges. They were built over a deep canyon.

The territory of the town is divided into two parts today – the old and the new one. The Puente Nuevo Bridge is a kind of border between them. This bridge was built in the early 18th century. It remains unchanged from the moment of construction. Many travelers prefer to climb down into the gorge of El Tajo. It is located under the bridge. They can admire the town below. The historical monument looks even more impressive from there.

You can see many snow-white houses while walking through the streets of the historic district. Locals call these houses "Pueblos Blancos". They make the historic district of Ronda very similar to the Greek island of Santorini. There is a very beautiful Alameda Del Tajo Park in the town. Some of its platforms offer a great view of the surrounding area. Many ancient churches are also preserved here. Some of them are more than 400 years old. There is also the ancient fortress of Murallas y Puertas Islámicas de Ronda. The house of the king of the Moors is one of the most beautiful architectural monuments. Next - Al-Hajjarah
