Ronda - Andalusia [Spain]

Ronda is a city in the Spanish province of Málaga. It is located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of the city of Málaga, within the autonomous community of Andalusia. Three bridges, Puente Romano (“Roman Bridge“, also known as the Puente San Miguel), Puente Viejo (“Old Bridge“, also known as the Puente Árabe or “Arab Bridge“) and Puente Nuevo (“New Bridge“), span the canyon. The term “nuevo“ is a bit of a misnomer, as the building of this bridge commenced in 1751 and took until 1793 to complete. The Puente Nuevo is the tallest of the bridges, towering 120 metres (390 ft) above the canyon floor, and all three serve as some of the city’s most impressive features. [ from: ]
