The town Ronda is one of the most popular visitor destinations in Andalucia.

It stands on a towering plateau, which is divided in two by a plunging river gorge known as El Tajo.

El Tajo is spanned by a bridge called the Puente Nuevo which was built in the eighteenth century and provides access to both sides of Ronda.

On one side of the bridge is the old Moorish town with many historic buildings including the House of the Moorish King.

On the other side you will find El Mercadillo, a more recent urban development.
