Ronda

Ronda is a town in the mountains of Málaga province in Andalusia, Spain, built on either side of a deep gorge cut by the Guadalevín river. Under Muslim rule it was the centre of a taifa kingdom in the 11th century and later a frontier fortress of the Emirate of Granada. The Catholic Monarchs captured it in 1485, and its 18th-century Puente Nuevo bridge and bullring are famous.
