Puente Nuevo Vehicle Access Restrictions in Ronda

by

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 only 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.

Avoid a fine and find an easy place to park in Ronda

Coming down past the Plaza de Merced church you have the opportunity to turn left. If you continue onwards here, the cameras will trap you and the fine will be sent. So, if you see the bullring on your right you have already gone too far.

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.
  • If you do get a fine also remember that hire car companies are charging in excess of 30 euros “processing fees” to pay your fine for you.)

Hotels in the Old Town of Ronda

by

There are many hotels in Ronda, and several of these are superb. But quite a few people who visit Ronda have a particular desire to stay in the old part of town, with its history, narrow cobbled streets and romantic stories. This is the protected historic quarter of Ronda, where very little modern development is allowed, making it a unique place to stay. From here, you can step outside your hotel and walk to the Puente Nuevo, the Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, the Mondragón Palace and many of the city’s most important attractions, all while soaking up the atmosphere of one of Andalucía’s most beautiful historic towns.

Ronda’s old town extends from the Puente Nuevo along Calle Armiñan until the old walls and Almocabar Gate, and down as far as the Arab Baths, so we have included the Hotel Alavera de los Baños even though other travel guides might consider it outside the old town.
