| Page Views: 3,062 Last Visit to Ronda: August, 2002 | A City Straddling Gorges. by Beach_dog - last update: Sep 11, 2002 |
A city built on a mountain ridge, it is split in half by a gaping river gorge of the El Tajo, which drops a sheer 130m. The gorge is crossed by two bridges, one the 18th century arched bridge is of particular interests, the Puente Nueve. Further up the gorge the Puente Arabe, the Arab or Old bridge. Precariously perched along the gorges edges, the whitewashed buildings seem to risk slipping down the sheer slopes.
Across the gorge the old Moorish town the Ciudad. The Ciudad retains its Moorish layout, an intricate maze of streets where you can do little but wander at random. |

Fine page on Ronda. I was surprised to learn that in the small arena of Ronda were set the rules of bullfighting by the Romero's in the 18th century! | nada1712 Sat Apr 29, 2006 19:37 UTC
