Statue of San Francisco in Plaza Ruedo Alameda

Highlight • Monument

The square is a historic place in the old town of Ronda. It is located in the oldest part of the city, which lies outside the old city walls. The square is characterized by traditional Andalusian architecture, with white houses, cobblestones and small shops. It offers a relaxed atmosphere and is less crowded with tourists than the more popular squares in the center of Ronda. The place is a good starting point for exploring the historic old town of Ronda or taking a break in one of the small restaurants.

Puerta de Carlos V

Highlight • Historical Site

The Puerta de Carlos V is an impressive triumphal arch in Ronda, located on the Plazuela Arquitecto Francisco Pons Sorolla. This gate was built in the 18th century during the reign of King Charles V.
The gate was designed to facilitate access to the city and has inscriptions and coats of arms referring to Charles V as the first Burgundian king of Spain. It is a beautiful example of the architecture of that period and also offers beautiful views of the city and its surroundings.

Campsite about 1.5 km from the center. Good opportunity for trekking bike tents! Attached good restaurant! Swimming …
