Puente Nuevo and El Tajo Gorge

by
Puente Nuevo and El Tajo Gorge in Ronda

The Puente Nuevo and El Tajo Gorge are the defining landmarks of Ronda. The 98-metre-high bridge spans the Guadalevín River at the highest point of the gorge, connecting Ronda’s historic old town with the newer part of the city. Below it, the river has cut a dramatic gorge through the limestone, creating the sheer cliffs and landscapes that have made Ronda famous.

The Puente Nuevo is much more than a viewpoint. You can explore the bridge and its interpretation centre, walk along the gorge, discover historic routes and viewpoints, and see how the Tajo has shaped the development of Ronda. In this guide, I’ll show you the best ways to experience the bridge and gorge, including the places I recommend for photographs and the history behind this extraordinary part of the city.
