Ronda

The city stands on two sides of El Tajo, a 120-meter-deep gorge carved by the Guadalevín River, connected by the stone Puente Nuevo bridge.

Romans established settlements in the area, naming it Arunda, before Muslim rulers transformed it into Hisn al-Rundah, making it the capital of Takurunna province.

The Plaza de Toros, established in 1572, represents the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain and maintains traditional Spanish bullfighting techniques.

The city connects to major Andalusian destinations through regular train services, with the railway station operating since 1892 and offering direct routes to Madrid.

The 14th-century Arab Baths remain partially intact, featuring three chambers with star-shaped openings that regulated water temperature through light and air flow.
