Context

Our verdict

Ronda is one of the most spectacular pueblos blancos of Andalusia: town perched at 2,500 ft, crossed by the Tajo canyon (390 ft deep), Puente Nuevo built in 1793. June is my favorite month (9.8/10): 63-82°F, 7% rain, ideal temperatures before the heat, golden light on the Arab walls.
