Ronda sits on a rocky plateau split by the Tajo, a deep canyon bridged by the town’s iconic span; its tight lanes, well-preserved Arabic baths and one of Spain’s oldest bullrings create a compact, fairytale city to be walked and examined up close.

THE HISTORY

One of Europe’s best-preserved Arabic baths

Among Ronda’s preserved monuments are Arabic baths that stand as a clear witness to the city’s long Islamic past and are among the best conserved in Europe.

Ronda’s plaza de toros is one of Spain’s oldest bullrings and a focal point of the town’s taurine tradition — a site that drew writers such as Orson Welles and Ernest Hemingway.
