Ronda is a picturesque town in the province of Málaga, Andalusia, in southern Spain. It is located on a high plateau and is surrounded by deep ravines called the "Tajo de Ronda". The city is known for its breathtaking scenery and historical importance.

Ronda has a rich history that dates back to the time of Moorish rule. The city was an important strategic point during the Reconquista, the Christian kingdoms' struggle for liberation against the Moors. Ronda has a well-preserved old town with narrow streets, white houses and cobbled squares. One of the most famous sights is the Puente Nuevo, an impressive bridge that connects the two sides of the gorge and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

The city also has a rich cultural scene with museums, art galleries and traditional flamenco performances. Ronda is also known for its bullfighting tradition. Ronda's bullring, the oldest in Spain, attracts visitors from all over the world.
