From the new bridge there is a good view of Puente Viejo: an old stone bridge that is one of three bridges that spans the deep Tajo de Ronda gorge with the Guadalevín river in it.

Not a very difficult climb, but it does take a long time. There are still a few bends, especially towards the end. Very little traffic.

The Arab Bridge of Ronda or Puente de las Curtiderías is located a few meters from the famous Arab Baths of the city. It is accessed by going down from the old bridge and Arco de Felipe V. Popularly known as Puente Romano, there is nothing in the current plant that betrays such an origin. However, it cannot be ruled out that there was a bridge from Roman times in the same place, since the location was the only one that allowed access to the city from the north.

The Plaza de Toros de Ronda is a historic bullring built between 1779 and 1785. It is one of the oldest bullrings in Spain and is built entirely of stone. It has a diameter of 66 metres, making it one of the largest bullrings in the world. The bullring is home to the Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda, the oldest and most noble order of chivalry in Spain, which dates back to 1485. The bullring has a rich history and is an important symbol of the bullfighting tradition in Spain.

The Puente Árabe "Arab Bridge" is the oldest of the three bridges in Ronda. The stone bridge spans the Guadalevín River, which flows in the Tajo de Ronda gorge. The bridge is located outside the city walls of Ronda and is lower than the neighboring Puente Viejo.

The Puente Nuevo is certainly the most famous landmark of the city of Ronda. It spans the spectacular El Tajo gorge, which separates the old town "La Ciudad" from the newer town "El Mercadillo". The bridge is about 98 meters high and was built in the 18th century to connect the two parts of the city. The construction of the bridge began in 1751, lasted 42 years, and was completed in 1793. The structure is made of massive stone and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the gorge below. Inside the bridge, there is a small room that was formerly used as a prison. A symbol of Ronda's impressive architecture and history. The Puente Nuevo in Ronda is a real highlight and an absolute must for those seeking impressive views and an unforgettable experience. A visit to the Puente Nuevo is therefore not only a visual highlight but also an experience that combines history, nature, and adventure. There are places where you should have been. This is certainly one of them! The fascinating impressions leave a lasting impression.

Ronda has one of the oldest bullrings in Spain, built in the 18th century. Although bullfighting itself is controversial, the arena is an impressive architectural monument and one of the most important of its kind in Spain. In the attached museum you can learn more about the history of bullfighting. Recommended, very interesting.
