The origins
of RONDA go back to the Celts who
called this spot Arunda; some historians
situate the city in Acinipo, and both
populations were passed to the Romans; later
on it was Muslim and in the XV century,
conquered by the Catholic Kings. It was also
occupied by Napoleanic troops and defend
themselves from them, they organised centres
of banditry.
The historic city is divided into three
zones: the neighbourhood of San Francisco
(XV century), Puerta de Almocábar (XIII
century) and Puerta de Carlos I (XVI
century).

The popular grove of San Carlos or of Tagus
is a beautiful garden from the XVIII century
with a large row of balconies with views of
the Guadalevin valley. In the Roman ruins of
Acinipo, about 20 km in the direction of
Setenil, the Roman theatre is preserved
(stage, wall, orchestra, and tiers).
Benaoján is 15 km away, with the Knows caves
of Gato and La Pileta. In the direction
towards the coast, the access to the Natural
park of the Sierra de las Nieves is located,
and the connection to the incomparable Valle
del Genal, whose town and chestnut groves,
both of which are beautiful, are essential
to see. |
