Ronda

Ronda, one of Andalusia’s most spectacular “white
villages” combines history and tradition to
create a magical setting. The gaping El Tajo gorge
slices through the town spanned by the 130 metre high
Puente Nuevo and the oldest bullring in Spain echoes
of bullfights through the ages. Surrounding the ancient
town are the rolling hills and mountain tops of the
Sierranía de Ronda and Grazalema National Park,
a haven for those seeking the real Andalusian countryside.
