The New Bridge In Ronda

The New Bridge connects the old city with the newer parts of Ronda and its suburbs. Taking some 42 years to complete, the bridge dates to 1751. The bridge dramatically transverses the El Tajo canyon.

To view the New Bridge, as seen in the photographs here, you will need to find the Plaza Maria Auxiliadora; it is not far from the Palacio de Mondragón. At the south end of the Plaza Maria Auxiliadora there is a pathway leading down to the Arco del Cristo, a deteriorating city gate which dates from the 13th century.
