An ancient city packed with centuries of history has charmed tourists and visitors, from writers to creators: Rilke, poet who stayed at room 208 of the Hotel Reina Victoria for some time. Today you can visit his room. Orson Welles loved bullfighting; his ashes rest on a farm in Ronda. Ernest Hemingway dedicated the tenth chapter of his work For whom the bells toll to events in the city in 1936. These are but three people who were inspired by this impressive city. Divided by the GuadalevínRiver as it runs through the GenilValley, Ronda preserves traits of an ancient Arabic medina and part of city walls. Its rich heritage is a must for all visitors. There are charming corners in a city that has been a Historic-ArtisticMonument since 1966. Ronda has a number of nearby nature reserves, including Grazalema and Sierra de las Nieves Nature Reserve where you can enjoy nature at its best as well as a variety of outdoor activities. To delight your taste buds, Ronda offers a number of natural products, including wild game, local mushrooms in Autumn and cardoon thistles in the Spring. Likewise, goat cheese and wines from nearby wineries are a must for any table; such delicacies can be enjoyed at the more than one hundred bars, wine cellars and restaurants in the city where they are known for their quality and variety. Visitors must not miss one to the most outstanding characteristics of Ronda….it is the birthplace of modern bullfighting. The 18th century Ronda Bull Ring was built by the Royal Order of Chivalry of Ronda, founded by King Philip II of Spain. From Pedro Romero to Pepe Hillo up to the Ordóñez dynasty, the stones of the bullring have enjoyed an endless number of bullfighting afternoons. In 1954, the world-famous bullfight Corrida Goyesca (Goya-style bullfighting) was created, and it continues to be held in September and attracts numerous people to the city.
