Stop 1

The Bullring of Ronda is one of the oldest and most famous in Spain. It is located in the city of Ronda, in the province of Málaga, and was inaugurated in 1785. Its architecture is neoclassical in style, with a two-storey structure of Doric columns surrounding the ring. It is known for its beauty and historical importance in bullfighting, as it has been the scene of numerous bullfights and cultural events. In addition, Ronda is famous for being the birthplace of the modern bullfighting technique, developed by figures such as Francisco Romero. Today, the square houses a bullfighting museum and remains an important cultural symbol of the city.

The Casa del Rey Moro de Ronda is an emblematic historic building dating back to the 18th century, although its origin dates back to Muslim times. It is located on a cliff above the Guadalevín River and is famous for its spectacular location and architecture. The house is known for its water mine, an ancient water access system that descends to the river, and which can be visited by going down a series of steep stairs. This system was key to the survival of the city during the Middle Ages. The building also has a beautiful garden and a series of rooms decorated in the Andalusian style, making it one of Ronda's main tourist attractions.

Stop 3

The Mondragon Palace of Ronda is one of the most representative buildings in the city, with a rich history that spans from Muslim to modern times. Originally built in the 14th century as a residence of the Nasrid Kings, the palace combines elements of Islamic and Renaissance architecture. For centuries, it was the residence of nobles and, in the 18th century, became a building of civil character. It stands out for its beautiful interior courtyards, with gardens and fountains, as well as its Islamic-style cisterns and vaults. Currently, it houses the Ronda Museum, where archaeological objects that narrate the history of the city from prehistory to the Modern Age are displayed. Mondragon Palace is a clear example of Ronda’s architectural evolution and an important tourist attraction.

Stop 4

The Tagus of Ronda is an impressive natural gorge that divides the city of Ronda into two parts, and is one of the main tourist attractions of the town. This cliff about 100 meters high offers spectacular views of the city, the Guadalevín River and the surrounding landscapes. The Tagus has been a key geological formation in Ronda's history, serving as a natural defense during Muslim times. On the edge of the Tagus is the famous New Bridge, which connects the two parts of the city and allows you to admire the canyon from its top. In addition, the area offers several viewpoints and paths that allow you to explore the beauty of this unique place.

Stop 5

The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Ronda is one of the main religious monuments of the city. It is located in the historic center, in what was originally a major mosque after the conquest of Ronda by the Catholic Monarchs in 1485. Its construction began in the 16th century and combines Gothic-Mudejar, Renaissance and Baroque styles. It stands out for its imposing facade, its impressive interior with a central nave and a series of chapels, and its Baroque-style main altar. The church also houses several works of art, including altarpieces and sculptures, and is a symbol of Ronda's religious and historical heritage.

6

The Old Bridge of Ronda, also known as San Miguel Bridge, is one of the oldest and most emblematic bridges in the city. It was built in the 16th century, on the Guadalevín River, and connects the ancient city with the San Miguel neighborhood. Unlike the famous New Bridge, the Old Bridge has a more modest but equally impressive design, with a half-point arch structure that fits the mountainous landscape of the area. It is a point of great historical and visual value, offering beautiful views of both the river and the cliffs surrounding the city. Over the centuries, the bridge has witnessed important moments in Ronda’s history and remains an essential tourist attraction.

Stop 7

The New Bridge of Ronda is one of the most iconic monuments in the city and one of the most impressive bridges in Spain. Opened in 1793, it connects the old part of Ronda with the new, crossing the deep Tagus Gorge. With a height of 98 meters above the Guadalevín River, it is famous for its structure of three large arches and its robustness. The bridge was designed by architect José Martín de Aldehuela and took nearly 40 years to build. In addition to its architectural value, the New Bridge offers spectacular views of the Tagus Canyon and has become a symbol of Ronda, being one of the most visited tourist destinations in the city.

8

The Puerta de Almocábar is one of the main gateways to Ronda’s old town and an important vestige of medieval times. Built in the 11th century during Muslim rule, this gate was part of the city walls, designed to protect it from possible invasion. Its name comes from the Arabic word "almocábar", meaning cemetery or resting place, as it was located near an ancient Muslim cemetery. The door features an Islamic style with defensive elements, such as an architrave and a crenellated tower. Today, the Almocábar Gate is one of the most representative points of medieval Ronda history, and your visit offers a fascinating tour of the wall that surrounded the city in Islamic times.
