The ancient town of Ronda is built on a high plateau with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The town is split in two by the El Tajo gorge a 160m deep cleft in the rocky plateau.

The spectacular 18th century ‘Puente Neuvo‘ bridge connects the historical centre of the town with the new quarter where you will find the shops, restaurants and bars.

Ronda is only a 20 minute drive from Juzcar and is the 'must see' town of Andalucia. There is so much to see in Ronda that you should allow at least one full day to explore it.
