9Ronda, Spain

Suspended high above the El Tajo Gorge in Andalusia, Ronda is a dramatic white-washed town that inspired Hemingway and Orson Welles.

The 18th-century Puente Nuevo bridge connects the two halves of the town and offers breathtaking views. Ronda’s bullring is one of the oldest in Spain, but it’s the natural surroundings and romantic setting that make it truly magical.
