The Stunning Cliffside
City of Ronda
Spain.

2.
Ronda is a city in the Spanish province of Málaga. It is located about 100
kilometres (62 mi) west of the city of Málaga with a population of
approximately 35,000 inhabitants.
Ronda was first settled by the early Celts, who, in the 6th century BC, called it
Arunda. Later Phoenician settlers established themselves nearby to found
Acinipo, known locally as Ronda la Vieja, Arunda or Old Ronda. The current
Ronda is however of Roman origins, having been founded as a fortified post in
the Second Punic War, by Scipio Africanus. Ronda received the title of city at
the time of Julius Caesar.
The city is situated in a very mountainous area about 750 meters (2,460 ft)
above mean sea level. The Guadalevin River runs through the city, dividing it
in two and carving out the steep, 100 plus meters deep El Tajo canyon upon
which the city perches.
Three bridges, Puente Romano, Puente Viejo and Puente Nuevo, span the
canyon. The Puente Nuevo is the tallest of the bridges, towering 120 metres
(390 ft) above the canyon floor. All three serve as some of the city’s most
impressive features.

way to succeed is always to
try just one more time.
