We have selected some of the most popular viewpoints for their aesthetic views and their history, as well as for their route. It is important to mention that these viewpoints are oriented so that the tourist can enjoy the wonderful views of the bridge and the Tajo de Ronda, a gorge excavated by the Guadalevín river that is crossed by what is known as the representative monument of Ronda: the New Bridge.

Aldehuela viewpoint

Named after the architect José Martín de Aldehuela who worked on the construction of the New Bridge in the 18th century, this viewpoint allows us to enjoy privileged views of the bridge, the Tajo de Ronda and the Jardines de Cuenca. Although it takes a little longer to get there, it is considered one of the best viewpoints as it is usually quiet and without many tourists which will allow you to enjoy the views as well as take that much desired photo for the memory.

Our recommendation is to visit it early in the morning, watching the sunrise from this viewpoint is priceless.

Paseo de los Ingleses

Located on the edge of the cliff of the Tajo, it is one of the most unique and charming places in Ronda. The reason why it is called “de los Ingleses” dates back to 1906 when the Reina Victoria hotel was built. The reason for the construction of this hotel was to accommodate the English engineers who were in charge of the railroad that would link Algeciras and the coast of Ronda. Thus, it was quite common to see the English walking along this promenade.
