Ronda’s Arab Baths (Baños Árabes) are one of the best-preserved medieval Islamic bath complexes in Spain and one of the most interesting historic sites in the city. Built in the 13th and 14th centuries, the baths were part of the old Muslim settlement below Ronda’s medieval walls and were designed around the traditional sequence of cold, warm and hot rooms.
Today, you can walk through the remarkably well-preserved complex, see the original star-shaped skylights, horseshoe arches and heating system, and learn how the hammam worked in medieval Ronda.
Guided tours around Ronda let you explore one of Andalusia’s most dramatic and historic cities. Perched above a deep gorge, Ronda is famous for its stunning views, iconic bridges, and rich cultural heritage. Moreover, it’s a popular day trip from Malaga, Seville, Marbella, and Gibraltar. Visiting with a guide helps you uncover the city’s highlights and hidden stories in a short time.
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.
Love it or hate it, bullfighting is an important part of Spanish heritage with most people only learning about it from a short visit to a bullring. Reservatauro Ronda has changed that and allows people to see a more in depth perspective of bulls and bullfighting.
Hidden beneath the Casa del Rey Moro on the edge of the Tajo Gorge, Ronda’s Water Mine is one of the city’s most remarkable examples of medieval Islamic engineering. Carved deep into the rock, the mine provided a vital water supply for the city and was heavily defended during a period of conflict in medieval Al-Andalus.
The Water Mine was built during the reign of Abomelic, ruler of Ronda, in the early 14th century. At the time, Ronda was an independent Islamic kingdom on the frontier between the Christian territories to the north and the emerging Nasrid Kingdom of Granada..
Vehicle access across Ronda’s Puente Nuevo is restricted. Visitors driving vehicles that are not registered and taxed in Ronda should not cross the bridge or enter the restricted area without prior authorisation. If you are staying inside the restricted zone, your accommodation should arrange the necessary vehicle registration before you arrive. For most visitors, the simplest option is to use the Ronda ring road, park outside the restricted area and walk into the historic centre.
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.
