Ronda isn’t your typical shopping destination—and that’s exactly the point. This historic Andalusian city has resisted the pull of modern retail chains and massive malls. Instead, Ronda offers a nostalgic experience rooted in small, family-owned shops and a relaxed, personal atmosphere.
Puente Nuevo Interpretation Museum
The Puente Nuevo is one of Ronda’s most famous landmarks, in fact the bridge is one of the most photographed manmade structures in Spain. The interpretation museum is inside the bridge, in the large room under the road. At various times this has been a prison, a hotel, and a bar.
