What to do and see in Ronda, Andalucia: The Best Museums
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.

Amazing museum, absolutley huge private collection, a must if in Ronda. Everything from ancient coins to dagerotypes from ages past, history, memorabilia, the santa inquision is incredibly gory and darkly portraied. It will take a while, it is worth every penny...4 euros!

If you have kids, they would love this museum. Full of bad guys! We were fascinated. And couldn't help thinking of Robin Hood in the UK, Stagecoach robbers in America, and Ned Kelly and bushrangers in Australia. All colourful and mythologised characters. It has plenty of text/information too. Good place to visit for young and old.

Intimately linked to Bodegas la Sangre de Ronda, we have created and maintain the Ronda Wine Interpretation Center. Our Center is born from the deepest love of wine and coherent with our philosophy as a winery. Its purpose is to investigate and disseminate viticulture and oenology practices, as well as the rich historical and cultural legacy that wine has generated over many centuries. A place open to all types of public with multiple activities related to what wine means: art, culture and history. Located in the historical center, in a Roman winery with more than a thousand years of history that later became a palace house. This building has now been converted into a magnificent Interpretation Center of more than 1000m2, with twelve theme rooms that offer a walk through the history and culture of wine, a product associated with mythology and religion, with a strong social presence and whose precise elaboration, both in the field and in the winery, of works that collect the essence of

Arrived at 11 to be told by the owner to come back after 2 after the large tour groups had left. Great suggestion. Returned at 3 with a short tour then a very personalised talk through the wines of the region. Great value with wines and a cheese and jamon plate for 15 euros. Then left to sample various other vintages and styles at our own pace. Great option if your legs need a rest from the hills of Ronda.

This is the link bridge across the town and it’s a great sight to take in. Very steep and the views to the valley are great. Recommended
