Ronda – Andalusia’s cliffside city full of charm

I’ve known Ronda for many years, and every time I visit, it captivates me all over again. The old town, perched on a dramatic cliff, is a maze of narrow streets and breathtaking viewpoints. From up here, you have a magnificent view over the surrounding Andalusian landscape – the deep valley below and the impressive bridges connecting the two parts of the city.

The famous Puente Nuevo is particularly striking, majestically spanning the gorge. But it’s not only the famous sights like the Plaza de Toros that tell stories – even the old houses in the side streets exude a unique charm.

Of course, I couldn’t resist having an ice cream again, while Zuky sat beside me, completely hypnotised by the waffle – a ritual we’ve come to share on our travels.

For the first time, I came to Ronda with my motorhome. There’s a well-maintained parking area about 20 minutes on foot from the old town, with both Mercadona and Lidl nearby.

Ronda remains one of those places you can visit again and again – and always discover something new that fascinates you.
