hortus quaerens
"Ronda is a historic town in Andalusia, perched on a mountaintop and divided by the dramatic El Tajo Gorge. Founded in the 9th century BC by the Celts, Ronda has seen Roman, Moorish, and Christian influences, making it a rich tapestry of cultures and history. There're several gamous sightseeing spots in Ronda: Puente Nuevo: The iconic bridge spanning the El Tajo Gorge, offering breathtaking views. Plaza de Toros: One of Spain's oldest bullrings, integral to Ronda's cultural heritage. Arab Baths: Well-preserved 13th-century Moorish baths. Mondragón Palace: A museum showcasing Ronda's history, set in a former Moorish palace. My extra advice is to bring warm clothes if you're visiting outside of summer. Ronda's mountain location means it can get quite chilly. I was really cold when visiting in late March."

" Ronda is one of the most picturesque towns in the whole of Spain. This is mainly due to the stunning Puente Nuevo, which straddles a gorge in the town. Despite Puente Nuevo translating to New Bridge, the bridge is not exactly new, as it was completed in 1793! The bridge is the main selling point of a visit to Ronda due to its impressive size and scale. It would be worth the trip alone just to see it! As well as the bridge there are plenty of historical sites to see and the opportunity to do some hiking too around Cueva del Gato!"
