A few words about Ronda

Ronda is renowned for its beauty and its history, which is closely linked to the Andalusian bandoleros.

The origins of the Ronda Fair

This Feria – La Real Feria de Ronda – is a very old one. It dates back to 1509, and was originally a simple livestock fair.

In the 19th century, it was at its most splendid and became a meeting point for European and North American travellers in search of adventure. Andalusian banditry was at its height.

The Ronda Romántica event and festivities are now part of the Feria and aim to recreate that historic atmosphere, with the typical costumes and markets that were held in those days.

Many artists and writers have come to Ronda and fallen in love with the city. Here are just a few of the most famous who have paid tribute to the town: Ernest Hemingway, Prosper Mérimée, Rainer Maria Rilke, Orson Welles, Gabriel Garcia Lorca, etc.
