Puente Nuevo Vehicle Access Restrictions in Ronda

by
Puente Nuevo and El Tajo Gorge in Ronda

After a delay from the original January launch date, Ronda’s controversial Puente Nuevo vehicle restrictions took effect from August 1, 2025. The updated traffic control measure will limit bridge access to vehicles registered and taxed within Ronda, a move designed to protect the town’s historic core and improve urban mobility. Basically, if your car is not registered in Ronda then you cannot enter.

Practical tips

  • To avoid fines (70 Euros), do not rely solely on GPS directions through Calle Virgen de la Paz or Puente Nuevo unless your vehicle is registered in Ronda.
  • Instead, use the ring road (A-374 / A-369) and park outside the historic centre, then walk in. See information on where to park in Ronda here.
  • If you are staying inside the restricted zone, ask your accommodation in advance to submit your vehicle registration to the local police so you can enter without penalties. (Hire companies are charging around 30 euros “processing fees” to pay your fine for you.)
