Attractions and Places To See around Benaoján - Top 20

Above the gorge, so stately and refined, lies the Parador, with a view so pure. The palace embraces the mountains and stone, a place steeped in history, elegant and serene. The Tajo River sparkles, the Puente Nuevo nearby, whoever stays here feels Ronda's magic. A refuge of tranquility, of charm and splendor, where past and present gently await each other.

High above the Tajo, where the depths beckon, lie the gardens that Ronda gave to Cuenca. Terraces, lush with greenery and splendor, an ingenious work that so captivates the city. The Jardines de Cuenca, a graceful gesture, a friendship immortalized, present and ready. With views so expansive, so grand, and so beautiful, these gardens remain a wondrous shrine.

The view of Ronda from the plains is breathtaking and one of the most impressive panoramas in Andalusia. From the flat plain below the city, Ronda appears as a spectacularly situated cluster of whitewashed buildings perched on a high plateau, crisscrossed by the dramatic Tajo de Ronda gorge. Ronda is literally perched on the steep cliffs and seems almost interwoven with the landscape. Particularly striking is the Puente Nuevo (New Bridge), which connects the two parts of the city across the deep gorge. From the valley below, the bridge appears monumental and showcases the engineering skills of the 18th century.

From the new bridge there is a good view of Puente Viejo: an old stone bridge that is one of three bridges that spans the deep Tajo de Ronda gorge with the Guadalevín river in it.

A very popular location. The main building is the old town hall of Ronda, built in the 18th century, of which the original main facade with an arcaded gallery, cornices and the traditional clock still remains today. The rest of the complex is located on the site where the Plaza de Abastos Central was until 1974 and on other adjacent plots where a cable car station over the Tajo de Ronda was to be built. The current hotel "Parador de Ronda" is part of the network of National Tourism Paradors and is located in the center of the city of Ronda. Most Paradores in Spain are located in historically significant places or in outstanding landscape locations and often offer remarkably beautiful views. The hotel opened in 1994, is located on the edge of the Tajo de Ronda and next to the Puente Nuevo and offers views of the Tajo Gorge and the Los Molinos Valley with the Guadalevín River. There is a publicly accessible promenade around the Parador with terraces and viewing points. You don't have to stay in a hotel room - a short break on the outdoor terrace with coffee and cake is already a special experience. An extraordinary atmosphere combined with wonderful views and impressions. It will stay in your memory!

The Arab Bridge of Ronda or Puente de las Curtiderías is located a few meters from the famous Arab Baths of the city. It is accessed by going down from the old bridge and Arco de Felipe V. Popularly known as Puente Romano, there is nothing in the current plant that betrays such an origin. However, it cannot be ruled out that there was a bridge from Roman times in the same place, since the location was the only one that allowed access to the city from the north.

The Puente Árabe "Arab Bridge" is the oldest of the three bridges in Ronda. The stone bridge spans the Guadalevín River, which flows in the Tajo de Ronda gorge. The bridge is located outside the city walls of Ronda and is lower than the neighboring Puente Viejo.

The Puente Nuevo is certainly the most famous landmark in the city of Ronda. It spans the spectacular El Tajo gorge, which separates the old town "La Ciudad" from the newer town "El Mercadillo". The bridge is about 98 meters high and was built in the 18th century to connect the two parts of the city. Construction of the bridge began in 1751, took 42 years and was completed in 1793. The structure is made of solid stone and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the gorge below. Inside the bridge there is a small room that was previously used as a prison. A symbol of the impressive architecture and history of Ronda. The Puente Nuevo in Ronda is a real highlight and an absolute must for those looking for impressive views and an unforgettable experience. A visit to the Puente Nuevo is therefore not only a visual highlight, but also an experience that combines history, nature and adventure. There are places you should visit at least once. This is definitely one of them! The fascinating impressions leave a lasting impression.
