The Stunning Cliffside City Of Ronda, Spain

Ronda is a city in the Spanish province of Málaga. It is located about 62 miles west of the city of Málaga. The city is situated in a very mountainous area. The Guadalevin River runs through the city, dividing it in two and carving out the steep El Tajo canyon upon which the city perches.

Three bridges, Puente Romano, Puente Viejo and Puente Nuevo, span the canyon. The Puente Nuevo is the tallest of the bridges, towering 390 feet above the canyon floor. All three serve as some of the city's most impressive features.

Bonus: Acinipo roman theatre, in vicinity of Ronda. Unique because it was built as greeks theatres were: carved in the mountain. Roman theatres were built up from leveled ground.
