built on top of a 100 meter gorge is one of Spain's oldest and most charming cities
offering jaw-dropping views of the surrounding mountains and a beautiful old town to explore
welcome to ronda Spain
what is up guys good morning buenos dias and welcome to ronda spain
i am here on a quick day trip from malaga and today i'm going to take you guys on a little
walking tour show you around the old town show you some of the sights and have a ton of fun so let's go
i am starting off the morning here on top of santa maria church
and you have beautiful views of the city of ronda and the charming whitewashed homes
and then you also have incredible views of the mountains in the distance it does cost 4 euro
and 50 cents to come on top and into the church but it's a great way to start off the morning
i definitely recommend visiting the top of the santa maria church here in ronda
but the views aren't going to stop there i'm going to go on a little hike right now
to show you the real reason why we come to ronda so let's go
so before we get to the main attraction of ronda spain i've come here to puente viejo which
translates to old bridge and it's a beautiful bridge over a little gorge here and it's along
this nice little passageway just going for a little stroll and enjoying the nature of ronda
i am now at the heart of ronda on the new bridge or puente nuevo which connects the
old town and the new town it also stands atop the el taco
gorge but for the best views we have to hike down so let's go
if you want the best views of the el taho gorge and the new bridge then you can take a path from
the old town and hike down towards the bottom there are a few different places you can stop
along the way so you can just go for a quick 10 to 15 minute stroll or you can hike all the way down
of course the further you go down the fewer people they'll be and the better views you'll get
i have walked for about 30 minutes down the path towards the bottom of the gorge and
check out this view the view of the new bridge is absolutely spectacular you have the three
incredible arches and the el taho gorge actually goes more than 100 meters or over 300 feet
down from the top of the bridge and there's even a waterfall there
pretty pretty cool so i'm just gonna enjoy the view here and soak it all in
so the path should take you all the way down to the gorge if you want to go to the very bottom
but it's pretty hot out today and the views were really really beautiful just
from where i was so i'm gonna hike back up and continue exploring the town of ronda
i am back on top of the new bridge here and i'm walking across from the old town to the new town
so let's go explore the more modern new part of ronda
so one of the main squares here in the new part of town is plaza de
socorro which is where i am now there's a really beautiful fountain in the middle of the plaza
and then tons of cafes bars and restaurants to relax have a bite to eat and sip on a coffee
right next to plaza del socorro is plaza de torros which translates to plaza of bulls
and is where all the bull fights would take place back in the day nowadays both fights only take
place during one festival in september and i'm not quite sure how i feel about bullfights but
the ring is absolutely spectacular it holds 5000 spectators you can pay to get in or hop across
the street like i did go to a rooftop hotel and get some beautiful bird's eye views check it out
right next to the plaza de toros is parque alamida or alameda park which is a great place to escape
the sun and enjoy some tranquility here in ronda and at one end of the park you have
another beautiful view of the mountains there are just so many incredible views in this town
from the mountains the gorge the bridge the narrow cobblestone streets it's really really charming
look at these views ronda spain is so so beautiful
so i'm walking down the main street here in the new part of town in ronda called
caye espinel which definitely has a much different feel than the old town you have your classic shops
pharmacies and it's a lot more modern than the old town but a really cool contrasting feel
i am just walking back to the train station here in ronda but i hope you guys enjoyed
