El Tajo Ronda. The bridge spanning the gorge in Ronda is one of southern Spain’s most spectacular sights.
El Tajo Ronda
The deep El Tajo gorge divides Ronda into two sections: the historic old town and the newer part of the city. El Tajo Gorge is formed by the Guadalevín River and is a spectacular natural feature, with cliffs that plunge over 100 meters (328 feet) down. It’s one of Ronda’s most famous landmarks and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
The “Puente Nuevo” (New Bridge) is one of the most iconic landmarks in southern Spain. It spans the dramatic El Tajo Gorge, connecting the old Moorish town with the newer parts of the city. Despite its name, the bridge was actually completed in 1793! This impressive stone bridge offers breathtaking views of the gorge below and is a popular spot for tourists visiting Ronda.
There is a walkway through the gorge which opened in April 2024. Click here to find out more about the attraction.
