Welcome to Ronda the “City of Dreams”. Ronda is one of the most popular white towns in southern Spain, known for its dramatic scenery and historic charm. This compact hilltop city is easy to explore on foot. Stroll along cobbled streets as you visit iconic sites like the Real Maestranza bullring, the Puente Nuevo and the breathtaking El Tajo Gorge.

In Ronda you will discover beautiful churches, museums, and wonderful tapas bars and restaurants.

Puente Nuevo and El Tajo Gorge

September 18, 2025 by Clive Muir

One of the few cities in the world to be naturally split into two halves, the city of Ronda has the Puente Nuevo and El Tajo Gorge! The gorge also served as the most formidable defence Ronda’s enemies have ever tried to attack. Known as “El Tajo”, the gorge was created by constant erosion of the river Guadalevín.

vegetarian, vegan and gluten free food in Ronda, Spain

Are there vegan, vegetarian and gluten free eating out options in Ronda? The answer is yes!

Over the last few months, I have had quite a few emails from people asking where vegetarian and vegan food can be found eating out in Ronda. So, I visited 25 or so bars and restaurants in Ronda to find out. (I didn’t eat in all of them but it sure was a wonderful morning, afternoon evening!) :)

The answer is of course YES! Almost all the places I visited have some options available (but many don’t have it printed on their menus.) The key of course is to ask the waiter before you sit down. You’ll find them almost always very accommodating and eager to help.

To get there just cross the Puente Nuevo after the Parador hotel into the old town and then take calle Tenorio opposite the painted tiles of Ronda Romántica. (Entrance fee is 5 euros. Make sure you have a payment card as they don’t accept cash.)
