Foto-Spot in Ronda
Puente Nuevo
A stone bridge thrown across a 120-metre gorge that splits the town in two — the most dramatic backdrop in Andalusia.
Über Puente Nuevo
Route anzeigenRonda sits on a plateau split by El Tajo, a gorge 120 metres deep, and the Puente Nuevo spans it in three arches of pale stone. It took forty years to build and finished in 1793, and nothing else in Spain looks like it.
There are two completely different photographs here. From the town side you shoot along the bridge with the houses balanced on the cliff edge behind. From the Mirador de Aldehuela, and better still from the path that drops below the bridge, you shoot up at the whole span with the gorge underneath — this is the frame that makes people book Ronda in the first place.
The path down is steep and gravelly and takes fifteen minutes each way. It is worth every one of them, and it is where the light is best in the late afternoon when the gorge walls go gold.

Tipps
The viewpoints on the town side are small and busy at midday. The path below the bridge is steep, loose underfoot and has no railing in places — flat shoes, and not the option to choose in a long dress unless you change at the bottom.
