Ronda, Spain

Off the Beaten Path in Ronda

The real Ronda lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find the authentic character, the unmarked restaurants, and the quiet corners that make a city worth knowing.

Ronda is a dramatic Andalusian town split by a 100-meter gorge, connected by an iconic 18th-century stone bridge, with one of Spain's oldest bullrings and stunning views of the surrounding sierras.
