We went to a mountain top city called “Ronda” which has a population of approximately 36,000 people. It is high above a gorge called “El Tajo”.   What makes this city special is that the gorge separates the town.

There is a bridge “Puente Nuevo” which was built back during the Moorish times. The bridge connects both sections of the city and is an amazing structure. There are total of three bridges that connect Ronda.

The Puente Nuevo is the tallest of the bridges and towers a 120 metres (390 ft) above the gorge. It was difficult to get the whole bridge into a single photo, so below is a short video showing the magnitude of the bridge height and wonderful views.

The view was spectacular of the valley below Ronda.

We walked around the streets of Ronda looking at all the different shops which sell leather products. They are known for having good leather products in Ronda. Shelley did some shopping and found herself a nice leather purse.

We decided to get some lunch after we did our walking around the shops in Ronda.  We stopped at a restaurant with friends we met on the bus tour to enjoy a great view and meal.

After the meal we headed to the main square of Ronda. There is a large square known as a plaza where people gather to enjoy the day.

There are shops and a central fountain which provide a beautiful atmosphere and environment.

Ronda is a beautiful city and was well worth taking the time to visit.
