Unable to stop taking photos of the stunning views. Great spot to take some romantic photos, especially at sunset

Behind the bullring are to be found the impressive walkways (paseos) of Ronda. There are four such walkways in this area; the main one is named after the father of Andalucian nationalism, Blas Infante, a writer and politician who held the first Andalucian Assembly in 1918 when Andalucia was looking to become a fully autonomous region. This walkway starts in the region of the Tourist Information Office in the Plaza de Toros and takes in the Mirador de Paseo Blas Infante, its ‘bandstand’ structure and its incomparable views over the Tajo gorge to the Serrania (mountains) of Ronda. Then it retraces some of its steps towards the Plaza de Toros, turns right and heads towards the back of the Parador to connect with the Pasaje Ernest Hemingway which leads you past the cafeteria of the Parador, which you probably won’t notice as you will be too busy looking the other way at the fantastic views.
Back on the Paseo Blas Infante and continue past the Bullring and onto the Pasaje Orson Welles to head towards the Alameda del Tajo. If you continue past the Alameda you will then encounter the Mirador de los Reyes Católicos and subsequently the Paseo de los Ingleses. By this time you will have had more superb views than you can shake a stick at.

My wife and I visited Ronda on a day trip from Costa del Sol - mainly to visit the bull ring. Paseo de Blas Infante is next to the bull ring, and you cannot miss it. It is free to get in.
Look for the Ernest Hemingway and Orson Wells plaques as you enter. The views from the far end are spectacular, and well worth your short visit while in town.
If my review has informed you, please give me a "Helpful" vote - thank you.

Spend some time in Paseo de Blas Infante, a park near the Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda, to see these attractions:
* Mirador de Ronda, an overlook offering spectacular views of El Tajo Gorge and the valley beyond (see my review "Spectacular countryside.")
* The Ernest Hemingway sculpture (see my review "See the Old Man").
* The Orson Welles sculpture (see my review "Citizen Ronda").
This park honors Blas Infante Perez de Vargast, known as the father of Andalusian nationalism.

The park itself is located next to the bull ring and is not very big. However, the main reason to go is because of the fantastic views of the Peunte Neuvo stretching across the El Tajo gorge . You also have stunning views across the valley.
Walk from the bull ring to the Parador and take in all the views!!!

This is the square directly in front of the Casa del Aljibe – the former Town Hall and now the Museo Arqueologico de Estepona.
It is worth going into the building even if you don’t want to see the museum exhibits, as it is built in the typical 18th century style of a rich gentleman's dwelling. You start with a large entrance porch, called a Zaguan. Traditionally these have been considered part of the street rather than the house, and so in the past beggars or vendors might set up there, and people had no compunction about sheltering inside out of the occasional winter rainstorm.
The Zaguan always leads to a central patio, here we have a beautiful example. In the centre is the well leading to the "aljibe" after which the house was named - a very old water storage tank said to date back to Moorish times. If you are not quite sure, Moorish times here in Andalusia refers to the period between 711 and 1492 when the Muslim Caliphs of Cordoba and Emirs of Granada ruled. Over 700 years of Islamic history. The Romans were in Britain for only 400 years.
All around the patio at first-floor level is a beautiful balcony, now glassed in but originally open to the patio. This balcony is in fact the corridor giving access to the rooms at that level; a handsome staircase leads up there. Traditionally, the maids lived further up above in the attics, rooms too hot in winter and too cold in summer for the ladies and gentlemen to inhabit!
Here the patio has been enclosed by an attractive glass roof; when first built, this was open to the sky.
The square itself is very attractive, with flowers, a statue and a cannon. It is surrounded by a balcony-like balustrade painted in the traditional ochre-yellow and white.
Just across the road are several pleasant bars for refreshment, and nearby are other sites such as the Plaza del Reloj and the Castle.

This a lovely park in the centre of Ronda, If you walk right to the end you reach a precipice and can look down at houses far below. It is like looking at a map in the sattelite version! You can, if you feel brave, stand on the cantilevered balconies along the edge and take some amazing photographs. The park is very shady with very tall trees. The paths can be a bit uneven so take care. There are no flowers really, just shrubs and trees. On most days there is a guitarist near the bandstand playing live and selling his CDs. It is nice to sit for a while listening and taking in the view.
It can be freezing in Ronda as it so high up, so dress accordingly.

This delightful park includes a concert stage and mirador (scenic vista) with a breath-taking view of the Tagus Valley. You are greeted by monuments to Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles and inside the park a monument to Japanese artist Miki Haruta.

This is a pair of walks or paths that are forever associated with the famous writer and equally famous actor and director. Both men loved Ronda and they loved bullfighting. They each have a walk named for them, and the walks start behind Ronda's famous bull ring. The views along the walks are spectacular of the mountains beyond Ronda and the town itself (especially the puiblic market and the parador where we stayed). There are busts of Hemingway and Welles at the beginning of the walks.
