The bridge separates the old town from the newer part of the city, El Mercadillo, which emerged after the Spanish conquest. The abyss of more than 80 meters is saved with the New Bridge, which dates from the end of the 18th century. From the Plaza María Auxiliadora, there is an unpaved road that goes down to the viewpoint, from where you can have the famous view of Ronda with the New Bridge.

Unique bridge that connects two districts.
A view of the gorge is overwhelming.

This majestic monument houses in its interior a modern concept of Interpretation Center, on this great work of eighteenth-century engineering and on the different aspects of its environment: fauna, vegetation, geological, urban, historical, etc.

The Puente Nuevo is a stone bridge that, as one of three bridges, spans the deep gorge Tajo de Ronda with the river Guadalevín. In some places this gorge is 120 meters deep. The bridge is the newest bridge connecting the Mercadillo and La Ciudad boroughs of Ronda. The bridge has a height of 98 meters. It is considered the symbol of Ronda and is an important tourist attraction. Construction began in 1735. In 1740, the unfinished bridge collapsed, killing 50 workers. Construction resumed in 1751 and the bridge was completed in 1793.

The road bridge spans the Río Guadalevín over the approximately 120 meter deep El Tajo gorge. The bridge separates the old town from the younger part of the city.
The view from the bridge is breathtaking

The New Bridge is the symbol and soul of the city.
This 98-meter-high masterpiece, built on stone ashlars extracted from the bottom of the Tagus gorge, allowed the connection of the modern neighborhood or the Mercadillo with the old neighborhood of the city and made possible the urban expansion of the city. From their balconies, the views of the houses hanging on the very edge of the precipice are spectacular.

In any case, descend the short piece. Look directly at the bridge and the great waterfall !!

You can also go down under the arch of the bridge. Is just a dead end. But is worthwhile since completely different point of view.

The construction of the Puente Nuevo took more than 40 years in total. The bridge was finally completed in May 1793, with a ceremonial inauguration at the Feria de Mayo (May Fair), which is still one of the most important festivals in the city today. The bridge is made of stone masonry. Its four archways, the material of which largely comes from the gorge spanning them, are divided into two smaller outer arches, each of which ensures the connection to the new and old town. The most powerful arch forms the central part of the bridge. It rests on a crossbar, below which a smaller fourth arch allows the Río Guadalevín to flow through. This falls here with a small waterfall into the valley. In terms of its colour, the Puente Nuevo blends harmoniously into the wildly rugged rocky landscape that surrounds it.

This impressive bridge was the one that served as the "wall" or gateway to the ancient or historic city of Ronda. To cross the impressive pit, this peculiar bridge was built that was to facilitate the passage of troops, carriages or pedestrians.

Puente Nuevo ("new bridge") is the name of a bridge in the city of Ronda in the Andalusian province of Málaga in southern Spain. The road bridge spans the Río Guadalevín, which separates the old town, La Ciudad, from the younger district of El Mercadillo in the approximately 120 meter deep El Tajo gorge

An imposing structure which was super built into the rocks over the gorge. The landmark of the Ronda.

In the evening, the bridge is beautifully illuminated from the west, from the Mirardor de Ronda you have a beautiful view.

Hardly any place in Spain is as famous as the small town of Ronda in the province of Málaga. And the reason for this is simply spectacular: the no less impressive Puente Nuevo - Ronda's "New Bridge" - spans the breathtaking El Tajo Gorge.

If you have enough time, you can also hike down into the valley or up the opposite slope to be able to take a look at the overall view of the city with the bridge.
