Welcome to Ronda, Spain – Home of the City on the Edge
Ronda is a stunning mountaintop city in southern Spain’s Andalusia region, famous for its dramatic cliffs, deep gorge, and historic charm. Split in two by the El Tajo Gorge, the city is connected by the iconic Puente Nuevo (“New Bridge”), an 18th-century stone bridge that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Ronda is also known as the birthplace of modern bullfighting. Its Plaza de Toros, built in 1785, is one of the oldest and most beautiful bullrings in Spain and now houses a museum dedicated to the tradition.
Beyond its dramatic landscape and cultural heritage, Ronda offers a mix of Moorish architecture, whitewashed houses, and cobbled streets that reflect its rich Islamic and Christian past. It’s a favorite destination for writers and travelers, including Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles, who were captivated by its beauty and history.
