Ronda | Jardines de Cuenca: A Date with Ronda's Secrets

#September2025 If you're in Ronda and want to take in the magnificent New Bridge, there's one place you absolutely can't miss—the Jardines de Cuenca, nestled on the edge of the Tajo Gorge! This garden, built in Spain to commemorate the sister city relationship between Ronda and Cuenca, boasts a unique location, making it akin to Ronda's secret backyard. Entering the garden, you'll be amazed by its multi-layered design. Unlike typical flat parks, it descends the hillside in layers, offering a unique landscape at each level. Dense vegetation, towering cypresses, and Andalusian cacti dot the landscape, providing ample shade even on hot days. The best part? The breathtaking views of the New Bridge and the entire gorge from every angle! Capture stunning photos or simply sit on a bench, enjoy the breeze, and take in the view. Walking down from the gardens, you'll reach the old bridge beneath the new bridge. That quaint stone bridge is definitely worth a visit and a chance to feel the weight of history. Friendly Tips: 1. Free admission! It's a blessing to have such a stunning view for free. 2. Be careful with the stairs! The gardens are built along the hillside and have quite a few steps, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. 3. Take lots of photos! The views from here are truly breathtaking, and every shot is a postcard-worthy sight. Cuenca Gardens Opening Hours: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM Address: C. Escolleras, 1, 29400 Ronda, Málaga, Spain
