7Ronda, Andalusia

Few places in Spain are as dramatic as Ronda. Perched on a towering gorge, this Andalusian village is split in two by the El Tajo canyon, spanned by the breathtaking Puente Nuevo bridge.

The sight of whitewashed houses clinging to the cliffside, overlooking sweeping valleys, makes Ronda look like the backdrop to a fantasy film. Beyond the views, the town is filled with palaces, gardens, and cobblestone streets where you can almost hear echoes of its Moorish past. Ronda’s mix of natural drama and old-world charm ensures its place as one of Spain’s most cinematic villages.
