The town Ronda is one of the most popular visitor destinations in Andalucia.
It stands on a towering plateau, which is divided in two by a plunging river gorge known as El Tajo.
El Tajo is spanned by a bridge called the Puente Nuevo which was built in the eighteenth century and provides access to both sides of Ronda.
On one side of the bridge is the old Moorish town with many historic buildings including the House of the Moorish King.
On the other side you will find El Mercadillo, a more recent urban development.
Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles resided in Ronda for many years, and both wrote about its beauty.
The Spanish fir (pinsapo, evergreen tree growing to 20-30 m tall) is a species of fir native to southern Spain, where it is limited to altitudes of 1100-2000 m in the Sierra de Grazalema (near Ronda) in the province of Cádiz and the Sierra de las Nieves near Málaga.
