Routes
If you visit Ronda in the summer, it may be too hot to walk the streets during the day. That’s why we recommend you to take a walk in this beautiful place at night, under the moonlight. If it is beautiful during the day, you can’t imagine what it is like at night… Besides, the streets and most emblematic places will be much emptier when the sun goes down and you will be able to enjoy the tranquillity of Ronda. Stroll through the historic quarter, passing by the Puente Nuevo and the Plaza de Toros. Everything will be illuminated so that, in spite of the darkness of the night, you can enjoy the unique views that Ronda offers.
Visits
Without a doubt, the best place to visit at night in Ronda is the Puente Nuevo. If it is impressive during the day, you can’t imagine what it’s like at night. It is completely illuminated from top to bottom, giving you a unique moment for the views you will have in front of you. You can see it from the same places that are available during the day, since the accesses are not closed. All those who visit it at night say the same thing: an unforgettable experience with unique views.
On the other hand, during the summer months you can also visit the inside of some monuments, such as the Mondragón Palace and the Arab Baths (Baños Árabes), as they remain open until 10pm. The Mondragón Palace, also known as the Palace of Marqués de Villasierra, is one of the most significant monuments of Ronda. According to a legend, this palace was the residence of king Abbel Malik, son of the sultan of Morocco Abul Asan. Inside this palace you can find a collection of goods that tells the history of Ronda.
On the other hand, the Arab Baths were built between the 13th and 14th centuries, and are located in the old Jewish quarter. It is one of the best-preserved places of that time in the Iberian Peninsula, as they have always strived to completely preserve its structure since its discovery. Tickets for both monuments cost 3.5 euros, 2.75 euros for students and groups, and free for children under 14 and people with disabilities.
