The charming mountaintop city of Ronda in Spain’s Málaga province is situated high above a deep gorge on the edge of an escarpment and is surrounded by breathtakingly beautiful views. The 400-foot-deep El Tajo Gorge separates the Old Town dating back to Moorish times and the circa-15th-century New Town which are connected by an ancient stone bridge spanning the gorge known as the Puente Nuevo. The small town is home to several attractions such as the legendary 18th-century Plaza de Toros bullring known, the Jardines de Cuenca, and the Baños Arabes (Arab Baths). Ronda is surrounded by lush river valleys and over 20 wineries dotted around the countryside, making it the Costa del Sol’s top wine town.
