Tourists on their Bargain Holidays to Ronda flock to the exotic attractions of this fast-growing town that has retained much of its old town historic charm. The town’s dramatic steep slopes and views have kept many tourists on their Bargain Holidays to Ronda captivated and enthralled. The view of the deep El Tajo gorge with the Rio Guadalevin on its center will forever be etched in every tourist’s mind even long after leaving the place.
Join the hundreds of visitors making a beeline for the 18th century bridge at Puente Nuevo or New Bridge, during your Ronda Bargain Holidays and realize why people have been forever fascinated by the magnetic charm of the 100-metre chasm below. The bridge, which was built in 1751 and took all of 42 years to build, is the location of a chamber which was used as a prison where captured enemies were tortured years ago. The place offers a good view of the Serrania de Ronda mountains, also a favourite Ronda Bargain Holidays destination.
Cultural enlightenment can be part of your Ronda Bargain Holidays destination as you visit Cueva de la Pileta just outside of Ronda. Visitors trek to the place every day to see the rock paintings that date back to 30,000 years. The pictures, which consist of basic black drawings in charcoal, to the more detailed dolphins, people, cows and other creatures presumably hunted by the ancient Iberian people, will give you a glimpse of how people lived their lives centuries ago. Visiting a nationally-protected site like Cueva de la Pileta during your Ronda Bargain Holidays destination would actually make the trip well worth it.
Your Ronda Bargain Holidays would lead you to the preserved Arab Baths in Puente Arabe which gives tourists a peek into the exciting life of the Moors from the 13th to the 16th centuries. There is an existing debate as to whether the Arab Baths were built during the reign of the Almohad dynasty in the 12th century or the reign of Abomelic in the 14th century. The 5-minute presentation will give you an idea about Noria or the water tower or pump in Ronda, which is known today as Saqiya. Your Ronda Bargain Holidays would be more interesting, knowing that at the top of the Saqiya, there is a donkey that turns the wheel to be able to pump water from the river below and onto the baths.
