With so many things to do in Andalusia it is tough to plan a week long trip. We did Ronda on the last day of our visit and it quickly became on of the highlights of our week. The formations are simply amazing and should not be missed on a trip to this most beautiful region of Spain. More

You have lots of time to see the new bridge from both sides. the walk towards the old bridge and arab baths is less used. Go that way for a very interesting walk. More

Walk about the little streets, look over the ravine, and try to get a local to tell you what happened to anybody who waqs put in the little room that used to be the prison. More

I got totally addicted to this place! Took loads of pictures. Climbed down the "mine" in the garden of "The House of the Moorish King" and got dramatic pictures from the bottom of the gorge. Also a lovely walk round the walls to "the Gate of Christ". More

Hard to miss this when you are coming to Ronda and probably also the main reason why you came :-) The 2 EUR to get into the bridge arch are not worth the money. Nothing much to see there. On the other hand, go and visit La Mina and take the steps down to the river. That a completely new... More

The views through this gorge are breathtaking. A camera is a must. Watch for the birds nesting in the cracks half way down. The New Bridge [built in the 1700s] is beautiful and they floodlight it at night. It is amazing how they could build something like that in those days without the contstruction materials and machinery we have now.... More

To get the best view you need to walk down to the bottom of the gorge which can be accessed from the right hand side of the old town. More

We visited Ronda on a day trip from the Sun Coast. Well worth the drive! A very scenic drive into the mountains with some great vistas out across the Med from the road. Ronda is a pleasant touristy town, and the geologic formations and the stunning bridge made for a great day out! Walk the town and enjoy a cafe,... More

This view is why we came to Ronda and it did not disappoint. As others have noted, you can hike down into the gorge, or view it from different vantage points. We would like to return one day and hike all the way down. We found a pathway and made it about halfway down to a spectacular viewpoint. I am... More
