Description
The famous bridge of Ronda, Spain " Puente Nuevo " (New Bridge), over "El Tajo", built in 1793. The bridge divides Ronda into the new town and the old town. Ronda in Spanish Andalucia is an inland town, situated around 60 miles from Malaga to the south-east. It can also be reached by railway from Algeciras and Córdoba. Ronda is in a very mountainous area, perched above the El Tajo canyon with the Guadalevin river dividing the city in two. It was one of the last Moorish cities to be captured upon the Reconquest of Spain by the Catholic monarchs. The Crusaders only managed to capture Ronda by cutting off its water supply.
