Tajo de Ronda, Natural canyon in Ronda, Spain.
The Tajo de Ronda stretches through limestone formations, reaching depths of 100 meters with vertical walls carved by the Guadalevín River.
The canyon formed over 5 million years through geological processes, creating a natural defensive barrier that protected Ronda from invasions throughout centuries.
The vertical cliffs of Tajo de Ronda have inspired numerous Spanish artists and writers, including Federico García Lorca who referenced it in his poems.
Visitors can observe the canyon from three bridges: Puente Romano, Puente Viejo, and Puente Nuevo, which connects the old and new quarters of Ronda.
The canyon serves as a habitat for red-billed choughs, lesser kestrels, and peregrine falcons that nest within its limestone walls.
