The Plaza de Toros de Ronda is one of the oldest bullrings in Spain, and, by virtue of its architecture, character and beauty, is recognised as one of the finest in existence.Not for nothing is Ronda considered one of the cradles of modern bullfighting. The tradition dates back to the 18th century, when the town still maintained its cavalry traditions in the shape of a company dedicated to the conservation of the equestrian art.

Despite the fact they were in continual use for some 600 years, Ronda’s 10th and 11th century Arabic baths are among the best-preserved in Spain (along with those in Granada). Though their working parts are no longer in existence, it is not hard to imagine the busy social life that unfolded within these cool, domed rooms, the ceilings of which are attractively studded with star-shaped vents for light and ventilation. They were situated outside the old city walls, near to one of Ronda’s original bridges, the Puente Arabe.

The medieval walls, with numerous gates and Islamic arches, high defensive towers and long stretches of impregnable stone wall that surround the old city and would take at least an hour to walk around. The most impressive sections are located at Almocabar in the Barrio San Francisco, Calle Goleta, and near the ruined flour mills in the Tajo gorge.

Carved in the cliffs of the ‘El Tajo’ gorge is a surprising mine and fortress that dates back to the Moorish era when constant wars in Al-Andalus required the city governors to protect water supplies to the people and defenders. Ronda’s Water Mine under the Casa del Rey Moro was built during the reign of Ronda’s King Abomelic at the beginning of the 14th century, when Ronda was an independent Islamic kingdom on the frontline between the Christian north, and the newly developing Islamic Nazari Kingdom in Granada. To reach the water mine it is necessary to first enter the gardens of the House of the Moorish King.

Either side of Puente Neuvo there are scenic walking routes to the bottom of El Tajo canyon. On the side of the old town, a little country path takes you down the hillside and under the great bridge itself, via some slightly hairy sections that resemble a much lower but less well-maintained version of Malaga’s terrifying Caminito del Rey. On the side of the newer part of town, a better-maintained pathway takes you across one of the quaint older bridges that New Bridge was meant to improve upon, and back up the other side of the gorge past the Casa del Rey Moro. Both of these undemanding walks provide an abundance of spots from which to contemplate the untamed beauty of Ronda’s location.

The Plaza del Socorro is the modern political center of Ronda as it was here that Blas Infante in 1918 unfurled the Andalusian flag and coat of arms for the first time while standing on the first floor balcony of the ‘Circulo de Artistas’. The building known as the Casino and Circulo de Artistas or Artists’ Society is located on the north side of Ronda’s Plaza del Socorro. The central Plaza del Socorro also features the statue of Hercules, with the pillars of Hercules behind him. He is holding onto two lions that he aims to tame, although taming two lions was never one of the tasks set for Hercules. The coat of arms, flag, and symbols of Andalusia were designed Blas Infante. The Parroquia de Nuestra Señora del Socorro or parish church of Socorro was only built in 1956, since the previous one was completely destroyed and burned down in 1936

Situated in the Padre Jesús district, the Fountain of the Eight Spouts is without doubt the best ornate fountain in the city, as well as being the only one from the city´s history that has survived until modern days.This 18th century stone fountain consists of two sections. The lower section has two sides, the first of which is the origin of the fountain’s name, featuring eight spouts emerging from panels decorated with rosettes which pour water into a basin below, while the second consists of a drinking trough. The upper section is a triangular pediment with a coat of arms at its centre, crowned with pyramids and a cross.

The bridge is located near the Barrio de Padre Jesús, between the Fountain of the Eight Spouts, the Church of Our Father Jesus and the Archway of Philip V. This was the second of the city´s bridges up until the construction of the New Bridge in the 18th Century, thus its current name.
Bridge of Arabic origin dating from the thirteenth century.
It was one of the first points of connection between the two ends of the Tajo de Ronda gorge. It was built in the most accessible part of the gorge and allowed the expansion of the city to the other bank of the river known as Barrio (neighborhood) de San Francisco. The idea was to give access to livestock to drink along the river Guadalevîn.
In Ronda is popularly known as the “Puente Romano” (Roman Bridge) despite its Arab origin. In times it had a walled gate and barbican tower. It is made of flat stones slabs and it consists of a single stilted and slightly-pointed arch twelve metres in height above the river Guadalevîn.
Eventually, craftsmen working in textiles settled in this area, so it was called the Tannery Bridge.

The English Walk. When the rail line was built between Algeciras on the coast and Ronda at the end of the 19th C. it was popular with the people stationed in Gibraltar to make the journey up into the hills to obtain the fresh 'English' air of Ronda. The Hotel Reina Victoria was built around 1906 in order to provide comfortable rooms for these new tourists. In addition, a 'paseo' or walk was created along the very top of the famous precipice where distant views can be found. So the hotel residents had the chance to take the air and walk as far as the Puente Nuevo at the Gorge.
