Set in the Malaga province of Spain, Ronda has a long history that stretches right back to the Neolithic era, and there are even ancient rock paintings locally called the Cueva de la Pileta.
Famous for its bullfighting tradition and characterised by charming, winding streets, it really is a city unlike any other. And it's these stunning sights and individual atmosphere that's attracted flocks of tourists over the decades, including famous writers like Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles.
Making the most of your trip
A break in Ronda wouldn't be complete without taking in the views from one of the three bridges spanning the deep canyon that gives the city its character. While you're strolling about, make sure to explore the Old City too to get a real taste of authentic Ronda life.
Wine connoisseurs can be wowed with a trip to the Bodega Dona Felisa winery, and you can even go out to the Reservatauro Ronda to see fighting bulls and Andalusian horses roaming free in the picturesque countryside.
Make yourself at home
The best way to get into the swing of things in Ronda is to get out and experience some of the great, traditional restaurants in the city. There are lots of tapas places to discover, and authentic Spanish eateries like Bar La Nina Adela and Casa Maria. For something a little different, why not try The Spice Route for tasty vegan food, or Ronda Sweet Bakery for a treat.
Ronda hotels are typically Spanish and homely too. Popular places include Hotel La Fuente De La Higuera, Cortijo de Las Piletas and Hotel San Gabriel. But have a good look at your options so you find the perfect place to suit you and your budget.
