The Tajo de Ronda is an impressive natural gorge that runs through the city of Ronda, in the province of Málaga, separating the old part of the city from the new. Around 100 metres deep and 500 metres long, it was formed over millennia by the erosion of the Guadalevín river. At the top stands the famous New Bridge, built in the 18th century, which offers spectacular views of the gorge and the mountainous landscapes of Andalusia. Declared a Natural Monument in 2019, the Tajo is also a site of great ecological value, with cliffs that serve as a refuge for birds such as the common kestrel, the great horned owl and the peregrine falcon. Part of the Ronda Historic Site, the gorge is part of the Guadalevín river special conservation area. Next to it, the Alameda del Tajo is a public garden ideal for strolling, offering tranquillity in the heart of the city.
