Ronda is one of Andalucia`s loveliest towns,
steeped in history.
It stands
on a towering plateau in the mountains of Malaga Province, and is famous
through Spain for the
plunging river gorge which divides
the medieval from the 18th century parts of the town. This gorge
is known as El Tajo – The Cliff and is spanned by a stone bridge,
which once housed a prison. Visitors love to peer down into the gorge,
to see
the waters of the River Guadalevin.
Imagine birds flying beneath your feet, imagine the sound of water flowing
over ancient rock, imagine a history of love and happiness in Ronda.
A place where one can feel, a corner in which one can rest, and take
a journey into age-old Spain.
Ronda is also famous for its bullring, the oldest, and
the most beautiful one in Spain; the arena itself is also the country's
largest.
Think of beautiful local cuisine, tapas, walking between the narrow
streets,
sitting perched on top of the gorge.
