10 Things to do in Ronda -Costa Del Sol

1 In the wild: the Serranía Ronda

Serranía Ronda

The famous Sierra de las Nieves, meaning Mountain of the Snows, is 1,919 metres above sea level. The perfect place for hikers, walkers and sightseers who just want to enjoy the view. Don´t be surprised to see a few mountain goats or deer wandering by. Just inland from the Costa del Sol, the Serrania de Ronda is also home to a wide variety of birds, including vultures, eagles and owls. Flora, fauna and open countryside make this a must-visit area for lovers of the countryside.

2 Experience new heights: Puente Nuevo

Old Town

The Puente Nuevo is one of Ronda’s grandest bridges. It was built in 1751, but is still known as the new bridge, and is one of three bridges which span the famous Ronda Gorge. This 120 metre gorge splits the town in two and you can enjoy some stunning views over El Tajo, Ronda. Puente Nuevo took 42 years to build, and according to local history, the national forces during Spain´s Civil War would throw the republicans to their deaths in the gorge.

3 Spanish sanctuary: Iglesia de Santa María La Mayor

Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, Old Town

The Church of Santa Maria La Mayor is steeped in history in Ronda. Originally a Muslim mosque, the church was built in the 13th Century, and is a mixture of designs and facades which reflect the different rule of southern Spain over the years. After an earthquake half destroyed the church in the 16th Century it was rebuilt and became one of the most sacred churches in Ronda. Two lions guard the doors and the altar is stunning..
4 Local history: Palacio de Mondragón

The Palacio de Mondragón is one of Ronda´s most famous museums and features a huge number of local artefacts which have been collected over the years. Moorish remains are exhibited along with a host of treasures which depict Spanish rulers over the centuries. A must for lovers of art and history.

5 Explore the gorge: El Tajo

Ronda is a historic town that transports you back to the times of Andalucian folklore and legend. There is no better place to explore the history and landscape of Andalucia than in Ronda. You can meander round the streets on foot or enjoy walking around the top of the Ronda Gorge. One of the most popular walks is around 5km long and takes you across the Puente Nuevo and winds its way down to the square of Campillos, finishing in the district of San Francisco. By walking around the town you will experience Ronda´s history and beauty at your own pace.

6 Hit the shop: shoe fetish

There is much more to Ronda than historical monuments and the famous El Tajo. If you love to shop, then you won´t be disappointed in Ronda. The locals have a passion for shoes, and local, soft leather footwear of every variety can be found in Ronda – and the prices are so much cheaper than in the swish resorts of the Costa del Sol. Whatever you want to buy you are sure to find a bargain in Ronda.

7 Where it all began: the bullring

Plaza de Toros

Said to be where bullfighting all began, the bullring in Ronda is one of the oldest in Spain. Originally a place where locals could be trained in horsemanship, in 1572, King Philip II introduced bulls to test the horse´s stamina and strength. It wasn´t until the 18th Century that men began to fight bulls alone and without the horses. The most famous bullfighting family to arrive in Ronda was the Romero family. Pedro Romero fought 5,600 bulls without ever being injured. The bullring at Ronda also houses a museum near the entrance.

8 Fit for a king: Casa del Rey Moro

Calle Santo Domingo

The Casa del Rey Moro has a Moorish style, but was actually built in the 18th Century and has become one of Ronda´s most visited sights. Housing a water mine, which was built to bring water up from below the Ronda Gorge during the wars between the Moors and the Christians, the first target of any army in those days was the water supply. The staircase has 300 steps and visitors are intrigued by the ´Room of Secrets´ where they can whisper to each other through the walls.

9 Natural charm: Beautiful Ronda Gardens

Paseo Blas Infante

The beautiful gardens of Ronda are situated behind the bullring, and offer visitors stunning views over the countryside and mountains. You will stand high over a huge drop with an auditorium close by for summer concerts. The gardens are free to enter, and are the perfect spot for taking photos

10 Soak in culture: Baños Árabes

Old Town

The Moorish Baths are a perfect example of Ronda´s intriguing history and Moorish influence. Horseshoe arches welcome visitors to the baths which date back to the 13th Century, and attract visitors from all over Europe. In the days of Moorish rule, there was an Arabic bath on every street which bubbled with hot water. Ronda was one of the last cities to fall to the Romans, and most of its Arabic baths remain intact after all these years. History and culture combine to transport you back to the days of Moorish rule in Spain.

There are two boutique cheap hotels to stay in Ronda hotel ana maria , camoino de la Ronda and hotel san gabriel , ronda de dalt .great places to stay and find the secrets of ronda walking in the mountains ,
