Parador de Ronda
The Parador:
The Parador de Ronda was built on the site of the former town hall of this ancient Andalusian hill-top town, which was occupied by
the Romans and then by the Moors, before being taken by Catholic Spain in 1485. The Parador is spectacularly located on the rim
of the 120m-deep El Tajo canyon that splits the town in two, and is next to the Puente Nuevo (‘new bridge’, in fact built in 1793, but
newer than the Roman and Moorish bridges). Ernest Hemingway lived in Ronda for a time, and in For Whom the Bell Tolls, his
classic novel of the Spanish Civil War, some Nationalist sympathizers are thrown over the cliffs of the gorge.
