10 Sights & Landmarks in Ronda That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

Beautiful property and a great introduction to the way of life of the Spanish countryside and the breeding of Spanish bullfighting bulls and Andalusian horses. Very professional and warm staff. Animals are incredibly well looked after. Excellent tapas and food and wines too. A real insight into “insider” Andalusia and a must for anyone who wants to understand its culture and tradition. Great family outing, kids will LOVE the experience and also for couples.

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.

I think it was such a good decision for me to visit in February. I think what is fun about Ronda is you can roam around and look at this bridge from near far down and on top of it and you will be amazed from every angle???? the almond trees blossoming here and there makes you feel cheerful reminds me of the japanese cherry blossoms (altho I must say they are way better in japan) but just the blooming tree are pretty and makes you feel the early spring breeze. I imagine if I came here in the summer it would have been too hot for me. I'd like to come to malaga every feb ???? Also the random plate with the random japanese guys name on it came across as a surprise

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.
