The oldest bullring in Spain, «el tajo», Panoranic views and the a White Town of Ronda

The City: Ronda, A Living Monument in the Mountains

Ronda, located at the northwestern edge of Málaga province, sits surrounded by the dramatic peaks of La Serranía. This rugged mountain range once made the town remote and difficult to reach, adding to its timeless charm. Rich in history, Ronda is considered one of the oldest towns in Spain, with origins dating back to prehistoric times.

Among the earliest remains are the Cueva de la Pileta, a fascinating example of prehistoric art, and megalithic structures like ancient dolmens. As you explore the town, you’ll find traces of its Arab heritage, including the Arab Baths and the historic Almocábar Gate. However, Ronda’s true highlight is the breathtaking El Tajo Gorge, a dramatic canyon over 700 meters deep that splits the city in two — turning Ronda itself into a natural monument.
