Beautiful park just north of the bullring in Ronda…read more The park is Ronda's great green lung. Five bosky avenues (alameda in Spanish) represent a selection of mature trees typical in ornamental gardening in the Málaga province, notably the Himalayan cedar and acacia pine, as well as more commonplace pines and, around its fountains, pergolas twined with roses. The word alameda refers specifically to a grove of poplar trees, but it has become attached to any tree-lined avenue or boulevard. This particular Alameda was opened to the public in 1806. Even in the age of remote working and video streaming, the evening "paseo" is still a surprisingly strong tradition in Spain. Whole families take to the streets for a long, leisurely stroll during which they pass the time in idle chat with friends and neighbors, or merely walk from A to B and back again for the sake of the exercise and the reviving joys of the cool evening air. The alameda is the inevitable hub of the paseo in Ronda. We saw many people doing that during our nice relaxing time at the Alameda.

Plaza del Socorro hosts a fountain with sculptures of Herculese and two lions (after images representing Andalucia, established by Blas Infante), as well as a statue of Blas Infante himself, the "father of Andalicia." This square is historically significant because during the 1913 Assembly of Ronda, Blas Infante, politicking for Andalusian nationalism, waved the flag of Andalusia from the balcony of Circulo de Artistas, a building on this square. Infante led the movement to get Andalusia recognized as a national community, and won the Andalusian parliament a lot more autonomy than most regions of Spain. Infante was later executed by Franco, but is seen as a national hero, and is especially esteemed by Andalusians. We noticed a lot of Spanish tourists flocking to this square, due to its historical significance in Spanish history. Because we were there only days before Carnival, it was an especially busy time for crowds of Spanish visitors in Ronda. This square gets a lot of great sunlight, and has various places to sit. There is a parking garage under the square. Many good restaurants along its perimeter. At night, it is beautifully lit, and a fun place to relax.

It can get crowded, I was lucky enough to witness a cool flamenco festival the day I visited the area so having a lot of people around wasn't an issue, it made the place more fun and memorable. Also, regular traffic - cars, etc couldn't pass, it was a road closure for the event, so it was great, very pedestrian friendly. Plaza de Espana is a cool spot in Ronda, on the newer side (even if this area is far from being new, still full of history), you can see the cool cliffs from here, outstanding views. It takes your breath away!

Amazing view. Come here for the bridge. Both side show a view into the valley across the land…read more Would recommend everyone to visit ronda to see this.
