The Puente Viejo (old bridge) in Ronda, was built on remains of an older bridge. According to…read moreSpanish touring sites, this version of the bridge was built in the 16thC, however, Wikipedia claims it was built in 1616 (the year of Shakespeare's death). I would tend to go with the Spanish info, dating it to the 1500s. The more famous Puente Nuevo (new bridge) is a "young" 200+ years old. While Puente Nuevo allows vehicular traffic, Puente Viejo is a pedestrian-only bridge. It is accessible from lower points in town, down the hill from the Palacio del Rey Moro, on the old side of the city, and near Iglesia de Padre Jesús on the new side. This bridge has great views, but, IMO, not as dramatic as those from Puente Nuevo. Puente Viejo is in Carlos Saura's film version of Carmen (1983). Los Caños bar, nearby, shows photo stills from the movie. * * * TIP * * * Near the old bridge, there is an entrance to walk the INTERIOR of the city walls, to see these old ramparts from the inside. Ask for more info from your hotel, because this is not of widespread tourist knowledge.

It unites the historic and modern areas of the city by crossing the Ronda tajo, a gorge excavated by the Guadalevín River. The Puente Nuevo constitutes, together with the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda, the symbol and soul of the city. That is why it has been declared a Natural Monument of Andalusia in April 2019. We walked across it and also down the gorge to take some of the most iconic pictures of the bridge.

Exquisite, simple, standing there against time! Nice texture and architecture! If you walk around Ronda (and there are many things to see), put the Old Arch de Felipe V on your list.

With this in mind, this institution prepared a venue in the city of equestrian exercises that included games involving skill with bulls, which as had been traditional in Spain since the Middle Ages.

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.
