#Puente Nuevo Bridge Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
New Bridge
The Puente Nuevo is the newest and largest of the three bridges that spanned the 120 meters deep chasm that carries the Guadalevin River and divides the city of Ronda.
It was built between 1759 to 1793 by Jose Martin de Aldehuela, an impressive single arch placed on the middle, flanked by two more on either side.
The best views we can see of the new bridge are located at the end of a small path that runs from the Plaza de Maria Auxiliadora.
People dream of a day trip to Ronda from Malaga or Seville, hoping to see this bridge and the breathtaking panorama of the tajo gorge. It is not surprising that the locals and tourists are so fascinated by its incredible design.
The most famous attraction of Ronda is the Ronda New Bridge built in 1735. It spans the Eltajo Gorge and connects the new and old cities of Ronda to the top of the cliff.
Wandering aimlessly in the alley of Ronda, I found a street performer playing beautiful songs, a dog smiling at me on the balcony, or seeing a loving couple Walking hand in hand. Let yourself slow down and carefully discover all the beauty of the world.
Walking guide and 'pitfall avoidance' tips for the New Bridge in Ronda, Spain
Ronda, deservedly known as 'the city built in the clouds', is beautiful, comfortable, and free. To fully appreciate the beauty of the city's landmark - the New Bridge of Ronda, you need to put in some thought
🗓From the viewing platforms around the New Bridge, you can capture the angle as shown in picture 1. If you want to capture the view from below as shown in picture 2, you need to locate 📍Mirador La Hoya Del Tajo (Lookout Point)
📝However! The shortcut route given by Google map is closed in the middle! So you can add a stopover point 📍Ruinas de la Alcazaba, take a detour, and when you see the sign in picture 3 at the stopover point, you can go down the stairs on the right. It takes about half an hour to walk from the New Bridge to the destination.
After reaching the destination and taking photos, if you see many people continue to climb up the mountain, that! is! not! a! shortcut! The road ahead is still closed as tested, so you can only return the same way... The scenery on this trip is very good, but it is indeed a bit intense to go down the mountain and then up the mountain. If you don't do much outdoor exercise normally, please consider it carefully. I tried to take a taxi back up the mountain, but found it cost 60 euros , poverty made me climb up again~
If it's sunset, on the way back, pass by the stopover point 📍Ruinas de la Alcazaba again, take some photos on the city wall, it's very photogenic and you can see the pink sunset (pictures 456).
Wishing everyone a happy Year of the Dragon, and a smooth trip to Ronda~
The cliff town created by God - Ronda, Spain.
If your schedule allows, I suggest driving for over an hour to visit the Longda ancient town, now that you have arrived in Marbella.
The town is very small, although there are not many attractions, mainly around the New Bridge, but just seeing the city built on a cliff is enough to shock people! You can check in at the local restaurant during meal time and try the local cuisine. The grilled shrimp is delicious, but the sheep cheese there is really hard to accept. Because the location is facing the New Bridge and the cliff, it is normal to overcharge tourists, but compared to Switzerland, the prices are not a big deal.
Take a seat and enjoy the view of the city on the cliff in this small town, rather than rushing through it. Although this world is full of wonders, such a spectacle is not common.
Longda New Bridge - PUENTE NUEVO DE RONDA
Ronda, Md laga, Andalucia, Espana
The Puente Nuevo spans the El Tajo Gorge, dividing the picturesque and historic city of Longda in two.
·Puente Nuevo is the newest and largest of the three bridges spanning a 120-meter deep valley in Longda. It was first built in 1751 and took 42 years to complete. The bridge is as high as 98 meters, equivalent to a 30-story building.
The arch of the bridge in the middle conceals a room of about 60 square meters, which used to be a detention center for death row inmates. It is now closed and can only be viewed from a distance from the side of the bridge.
Puente Nuevo is one of the most photographed buildings in Spain. Standing at the foot of the gorge, one may feel as if in a dream: rows of white houses perched on the steep cliffs, like white clouds spreading from the mountain slopes to the sky.
