On the other side of the bridge, you will find the 16th century Convent of San Francisco and the historic gates of El Almocabar and Carlos V, which give access to the old town. Here you can enjoy many examples of Ronda's ancient history.

Pass through lower part of the town with a visit to the Arab baths and across the Puent Viejo (Old Bridge) and you will enter the more modern area of Rhonda with its Espana Square at the town centre.

Ronda has a bullring, which tourists can go inside and stroll around. Pedro Romero, reputedly the father of bullfighting on foot, created a bullfighting school in Rhonda, which annually recreates a traditional bullfight.

The surrounding areas also provide an opportunity to visit the whitewashed villages.of Andalucia.
