Hotel Parador de Ronda (Ronda, Spain)

Perched atop Ronda’s 120-meters’ deep El Tajo ravine, few hotels can match the privileged position of the striking Parador de Ronda. Capturing the very essence of Andalusia, this former town hall turned four-star accommodation boasts spectacular views of the gorge spanned by its famed trio of bridges. All bright, spacious and colorful rooms at Parador de Ronda have en suite bathroom, minibar, safe, and satellite TV. Some are duplexes with terraces offering town, mountain or gorge views. Air-conditioning and heating operate seasonally. There is free Wi-Fi throughout and on-site parking available plus room service, a garden terrace, seasonal outdoor swimming pool, elevator and accessibility features. Fresh and seasonal Andalusian cuisine, including regional meats and cheeses, is on the menu in the hotel restaurant. A buffet breakfast is an optional extra. Charming Ronda old town and its bullring are ten minutes’ walk while the Arab quarter lies just across the bridge.
