Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda

7.2

4.5/5

139 reviews

Ronda Bullring is an ancient bullring in Spain and a place of pilgrimage for bullfighters. It is in this bullring that the modern bullfighting method in Spain was born. This circular building can accommodate 5,000 spectators and is juxtaposed with 136 thick Tuscan-style stone columns, which is deeply historically heavy. The famous bullfighters in the history of Spanish bullfighting, such as PedroRomero, Antonio Ordonez, etc., have all fought with bulls here. In the past, bullfighting was the exclusive activity of the nobles, and the nobles who participated in the activities rode horses to fight the bulls. Until a nobleman was not skilled and was rammed by the bull, he turned his head on his back. At the moment when his life was dying, a commoner rushed into the field and waved his hat to lead the bull away. His move not only relieved the nobles, but also helped the nobles. It opened a new era of bullfighters dismounting and fighting bulls for the Ronda Bullring. In the museum attached to the bullring, people can also see artifacts such as the bullfighting clothes worn by the famous bullfighter Antonio Ordonez, who was admired by Hemingway. In order to maintain this "heritage", bullfights are held here only on special festivals, but tourists can buy tickets to visit.

El Tajo de Ronda is a natural wonder in the Andalusia region.

A well-known sight here is the Puente Nuevo. Centro de Interpretación, an 18th-century stone bridge that spans the gorge with its deck nearly 100m above the valley floor. The combination of the stone bridge and the deep gorge creates the classic image of this cliffside city. Visitors can look down into the gorge from the bridge to enjoy magnificent natural views and panoramic cityscapes. The viewing platforms below the bridge offer great photo opportunities, especially at sunset, when the interplay of light and shadow makes for enchanting scenery. Strolling along the trails on the edge of the gorge allows you to more deeply experience the power of nature and the weight of history.

Setenil de Las Bodegas

4.9

Setenil de Las Bodegas is a white town in Cadiz Province, Andalusia, Spain, famous for its unique view of dwellings built under giant rocks. The uniqueness of this place lies not just in its clever construction, but in the fact that the terrain itself dictated this way of life. The town is situated in a canyon carved by the Trejo River. The giant rocks and cliffs on both sides of the valley naturally formed sheltered spaces, where people gradually built homes, established streets, and made a living along the rock walls, following the natural terrain. This layout, built against the rock, is both practical and visually striking, making the entire town appear as if it "grew" out of the mountain. Visitors can drink coffee and have lunch in restaurants sheltered by rock, experiencing the sensation of having "a rock for a roof," which is one of the town's signature experiences. For a panoramic view, you can climb to the high vantage points or castle ruins to look down upon the intricate structure of white houses, canyons, and giant rocks. Setenil de Las Bodegas is small but full of character. It possesses both the gentleness of an Andalusian white village and the unique, resilient nature of being enveloped by giant rocks—a legendary town that has transformed natural terrain into a living space.

Old Bridge of Ronda

4.8

4.4/5

16 reviews

Old Bridge of Ronda is the oldest of the three bridges spanning the city's gorge. Its origins are debated, with most theories suggesting it was first built during the Moorish period. The current single-arch stone bridge was rebuilt in the early 17th century after the original was destroyed by floods, predating the Puente Nuevo. Centro de Interpretación by over a century. The bridge is small, with a single stone arch spanning the Guadalevín. The deck is paved with stone and is for pedestrians only. Walking on it, undisturbed by traffic, feels more relaxed than the area around the new bridge. There are four small viewing platforms on the bridge railings that extend over the river, allowing you to look down at the gorge and the water below. At the southern end stands the 18th-century Arco de Felipe, and the viewing platform next to the gate offers a classic vantage point for overlooking the entire bridge.

The Tahoe tree-lined promenade was originally a public garden for the townspeople, and many residents often come here to enjoy the shade on weekends. Gradually, it became a local attraction. It is located on a steep cliff with lush trees. Walking from the boulevard to the end, you will see a viewing platform. Standing on the platform, you can overlook the scenery under the cliff, which is very spectacular.

Join a guided tour of Spain and Portugal. This small group tour for 25 guests includes all-inclusive packages: five nights in a five-diamond hotel, direct flights from Air China, six special meals, and Wi-Fi. [The following appears unrelated and likely a separate topic:] Flamenco show, vintage carriage tour, high-speed AVE train, and admission to seven major attractions: Sagrada Familia, Alhambra, Park Güell, Royal Palace of Madrid, and Seville Cathedral. On the morning of Day 4, we'll depart from Granada for Ronda. Our guide will lead us to the Ronda New Bridge, then to the Ronda Terraced Gardens, one of the Ronda viewpoints, to see the Ronda Old Bridge. Ronda, a small city dating back to the Roman Empire and the birthplace of bullfighting, is located in the heart of Andalusia, Spain. Its scenic beauty and vibrant atmosphere earned Hemingway the nickname "the perfect place for elopement." Divided by the Tejas River, Ronda is the Old Town and the New Town. The Old Town, perched atop a cliff, offers a breathtaking view. Ronda boasts a mild climate and often sunny days. The best times to visit are between May and September. During the Romero Festival in early September, numerous bullfights are held, offering a glimpse into the locals' passion and bravery. Most of Ronda's attractions are concentrated in the old town, with notable ones including the world's oldest bullring and the 14th-century Islamic Palace, the residence of the Moorish king Apomelico.

The first green arch I went to so many times but never saw it. Ronda is famous for the sea, but it is better than Mijas. Ronda has ruins and historical heritage. It's a pity that I haven't seen Ronda at night. I hope to have a chance to stay in the mountain for a night.
