A bit of history
Ronda is one of the oldest cities in Europe. The city was founded in the 4th century BC by the Celts. Initially, it was a small village, often passed from one conqueror to another. Later in the village a castle was built, which led to an increase in the population, and in the days of Julius Caesar he was given the status of a city. The final name was formed after the city was captured by the Arabs, who called it Isna Rand-Onda ("City with the Castle"), from which the present name came.
Now the city consists of two parts: the Old Town and the New Town, founded in the 13th and 18th centuries respectively. Also in the 18th century the New Bridge of Puente Nuevo was built, connecting both parts of the city.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Ronda
Ronda is rarely suitable for tourists who want to rest one place a whole vacation, nourish themselves with new impressions - this is a very small town, you can see the sights of the city in just one day.
First of all, we advise you to explore the Old Town, which has preserved many historical monuments of architecture: the Arab (Moorish) fortress of Alkabar, the Arab baths built in the 13th-14th centuries ., the cathedral church of Santa Maria de la Encarnación 15 at ., featuring a mixture of Romanesque, Arabic and Gothic styles and, of course, the New Bridge, connecting the new and old parts of the city, with galleries of descent into the gorge inside .In addition to it in Ronda partially preserved "Roman Bridge" (Puente San Miguel), built by Arabs in the 13th century on the site of the bridge built in Roman times, and "Old Bridge" .
- Go down the galleries inside the Bridge Puente Nuevo at the bottom of the gorge.
- Visit the Witch Museum and learn more about these devilry.
- Go to the bullfight on the biggest arena in Spain.
- To be photographed with a bronze and therefore absolutely not a terrible bull.
- To find out, finally, the meaning of the word "tauromakia".
We remind you, Rhonda is the birthplace of bullfighting. It was here in 1784 that the first and still largest bullring in Spain - Plaza de Toros was built. Near the Plaza de Toros stands a monument to the bull, and the arena itself is used for the purpose to this day. When it is not performed, it works as a museum of taumomaki (the art of fighting bulls), telling tourists about the development of this unusual action.
Pleasant and usual walk through the old quarter of the city with charming narrow streets, and museum lovers can recommend the Historical and Art Museum of Lara (a museum of witches with very funny exhibits). Extremes will certainly appreciate the walk through the system of bridges, terraces and paths that run along the edge of the abyss and lead to the bridge.
No less interesting will be outside the city, in the foothills of Ronda, where the view of the traveler opens up wonderful views of the wild Spanish nature. They were repeatedly sung in their writings by writers Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles, who visited Ronda. In addition to the beauty of Ronda, they were fascinated by the history of the city and the courage of its inhabitants, which was also reflected in their works. Photos of Ronda (17)
