the museum is housed in an 18th century mansion which has little to do with the Moors. However, the site may have been the palace of a Moorish emir who delighted in drinking the blood of his enemies from their skulls. There is a stairway leading down to the gorge (365 steps) from where you can look up at the... More

Good News! The garden has reopened. And it is a delight. The house is being actively worked on (as opposed to the usual Euro-linger limbo.) The garden is a marvelous (and I do mean a "marvel") place to view the gorge and bridge. Every way you turn you will see another view of the valleys and hills that surround Ronda... More

It is one of the place attractions that I would like to visit in Ronda. I didnt realise that the hotel I stayed was just few mins away. Unfortunately, the place is closed due to safety reason. According to the hotel owner, it has been closed for more than a month. Sadly, I can only enjoy the views from the... More

This was my favorite paid "attraction" in Ronda. For just a few euros you gain access to the beautiful, serene gardens surrounding the house. There are dramatic views of the Tajo, the Puente Nuevo, and the surrounding countryside. Some 300 steps lead down to the water mine, which dates to the 14th century. The passage way leads to the bottom... More

The palace building is a ruin, and in a shameful condition, and the gardens were ok but the water mine was a real treat, a piece of Islamic history in Ronda which seems to be very rare considering how famous Ronda is for it's Arab past. I counted over 250 steps to the bottom then gave up, and the bottom... More

Although the building is in the midst of a long-standing argument over permitting, and many guidebooks talk about the "water mine" where steps carved into the stone lead down to the river, the reason to visit the place is the gardens. Beautiful gardens with fountains and ponds create enchanting vistas, and looking out from the terraces, You feel as though... More

The mine is a fort/well -- an architectural Moorish marvel topped with a turn of the (last) century hanging garden of Forestier fame not to be missed. It is a marvel of engineering ingenuity that provides a spectacular view of the gorge at the bottom.

You can't go inside and unless someone takes action, it will fall down.

Youcan't actually go inside the house and it really needs restoring but the gardens were gorgeous. There was a mine with 200 steps down but as it was late on and I was with my young son, and we couldn't go down. Still worth it for the beautiful views across the gorge and the lovely gardens
