Ronda retains much of its historic charm, particularly its old town. It is famous worldwide for its dramatic escarpments and views, and for the deep El Tajo gorge that carries the rio Guadalevin through its centre. Visitors make a beeline for the 18th century Puente Nuevo `new ´ bridge, which straddles the 100 m chasm below, for its unparalleled views out over the Serrania de Ronda mountains. Ronda is also famous as the birthplace of modern bullfighting, today glimpsed once a year at the spectacular Feria Goyesca held at the beginning of September, here fighters and some of the audience dress in the manner of Goya´s sketches of life in the region. The bullring, Plaza de Toros is now a museum and visitors can stroll out into the arena.
Across the bridge, where an elegant cloistered 18th century convent is now an art museum, old Ronda, La Ciudad sidewinds off into cobbled streets hemmed by handsome town mansions some still occupied by Ronda´s titled families. The Palacio Mondragon still has working vestiges of the exquisite miniature water gardens dating from its time as a Moorish palace. The town´s pedestrianised `high street´ Calle Espinel, opposite the bullring is nicknamed `La Bola´ and is where Rondeños go shopping for virtually everything.
