Bridges and baths: The best things to do in Ronda, Spain ontheluce.com

Head into the Andalusian hills for a spectacular city break in Ronda, Spain. Discover the best things to do in Ronda, including spectacular views, historic bridges, Roman baths and tasty tapas.

Set on an Andalusian mountain plateau, the town of Ronda is just over an hour – and a world away – from the beach resorts of Spain’s Costa Del Sol. This pueblo blanco (white town) has one of the most beautiful settings around, perched precariously on the edge of a gorge surrounded by rolling hills, whitewashed buildings, orange trees and olive groves.

Ronda is one of the oldest towns in Spain, and you can feel the history in its cobbled streets, old mansions and stone churches. It was a favourite with the 19th-century Viajeros Romanticos (romantic travellers) – artists and writers like Orson Welles, Alexander Dumas and Ernest Hemingway who looked for inspiration in Europe’s most unspoilt destinations.
