<\/p>\nPanoramic vistas, traditional culture, the iconic Puente Nuevo 18th Century Bridge, and a dramatic gorge formed by the Guadalevin River are just some of the things that make the hilltop town of Ronda a \u2018must see\u2019 Andalusian destination. The gorge is 100 meters deep, and synonymous with this famous historic site.<\/p>\n

Ronda can be reached fairly easily from Malaga on the coast, although expect a fair few hairpin bends as you twist and wind inland to reach this beautiful town, cradled on the hillside. In fact, the drive from Cadiz to Ronda along the A374 could be described as amongst the most beautiful drives in Southern Spain. Though there is more to Ronda than its mighty bridge, stunning gorge and memorable drive to reach it!<\/p>\n
There are plenty of opportunities for hiking or cycling in Ronda and its picturesque surroundings, which provide you with the perfect way to view the many fields of wild flowers, olive groves, white walled villages and blue hazy mountains that surround this captivating Spanish town.<\/p>\n
Ronda\u2019s Alameda Park is a stunning beauty spot, the perfect place to meander away an afternoon and soak up the sheer beauty of the region.<\/p>\n
Within Alameda Park is the El Balcon del Cono, one of Ronda\u2019s best viewing platforms, where the panoramic countryside that surrounds the town stretches out in all directions, as far as the eye can see.<\/p>\n
Ronda\u2019s Palacio de Mondragon is another must see site, with a grand Moorish interior boasting wonderful elaborate geometric designs. For those interested in the history of the town, Museo Lara is worth visiting, which is located in the Casa Palacio de los Condes de la Conquista. Dating from the 18th century, the Museo Lara contains a large collection of objects from the 19th century.<\/p>\n
Ronda is also home to one of the oldest bullrings in Spain that can hold over 5000 spectators.<\/p>\n
The town is home to year-round festivals and fiestas, including the Feria Goyesca in September, which celebrates traditional Spanish culture.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no short supply of bars and restaurants in Ronda, where you can sample the delicious local cuisine and lap up its unique culture and incredible scenery. Yes, it\u2019s safe to say that Ronda is definitely well worth a visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
