Ronda is a municipality of Spain belonging to the province of Málaga, within the autonomous community of Andalusia.
Ronda sits on the Ronda Depression, a Miocene plateau at around 600–800 metres above mean sea level with fertile land suitable for growing the Mediterranean triad of wheat, olive and vines. The city is cut off by a deep gorge ('el Tajo'), carrying the Guadalevín river. It is traditionally identified with ancient Arunda, populated under Iberians and Romans, and one of the main urban centers of the depression in the High Imperial period along with Acinipo and Lacilbula. Head of a kūra, and then of a brief statelet, under Islamic rule, it consolidated as a regional cog in the late middle ages within the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. It was taken by force by the Crown of Castile in 1485. Ethnic strife between Christian settlers and moriscos accrued in the late 16th century.
As of 2025, it has a registered population of 33,671. Ronda's principal landmarks include the El Tajo gorge and the Puente Nuevo bridge. It is one of the towns and villages that are included in the Sierra de las Nieves National Park. The railway connecting Algeciras with Inner Andalusia and the Meseta passes near Ronda.

What people eat in Andalucía when they eat well.
Tomato, oil and bread, well chilled in summer; every household has its own touch.
From the Andalusian sierras, thinly hand-carved; order the tapa with your wine.
A good share of the world's extra virgin olive oil is made here, and breakfast is bread with it.
Flour, clean oil and a quick fry; a coastal custom that climbs to the sierra.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
We haven't confirmed Ronda's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
