Photos of Ronda: The Gorge, Bridge & Old Town

Ronda is one of the most dramatic towns in Andalusia. Perched above a deep gorge, it's impossible to take a bad photo here.

The Gorge & Puente Nuevo

Ronda's 120-metre gorge and the iconic Puente Nuevo bridge. Every angle is different.

Old Houses on the Edge

Some of Ronda's houses hang right over the cliff. It's hard to believe people live there.

Old Town Streets

The old Moorish quarter, La Ciudad, is full of narrow lanes, stone archways, and quiet plazas.
