Puente Nuevo Vehicle Access Restrictions in Ronda

Puente Nuevo and El Tajo Gorge in Ronda

After a delay from the original January launch date, Ronda’s controversial Puente Nuevo vehicle restrictions will officially take effect on 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.

If you’re visiting or staying in a hotel within the restricted zone, don’t worry—hotel guests can still access the area by coordinating with their accommodation, which will inform local police of your stay.

Hotel Parador, Ronda ****

The parador in Ronda - About Ronda Today

The Parador de Ronda is the most popular hotel (and the most reserved by Ronda Today website visitors.) This is not just because it offers the same exceptional service as other Parador hotels, but because it is so centrally located, offering everything the experienced traveller demands.

Its location immediately adjacent to the Tajo gorge and Ronda’s iconic Puente Nuevo, is the reason this hotel is often fully booked. On the edge of the gorge, there are only a handful of hotels, and the Parador has the best vantage point. All guests of the hotel are able to enjoy drinks on the terrace patio, which is especially nice at sunset.
