Ronda

Ronda's 18th-century bridge spans the nearly 100-metre-deep El Tajo gorge, connecting the old and new parts of town. It's an outdoor public bridge, so leashed dogs can cross, but keep the lead short near the parapets and viewpoints where the drops are unguarded.

One of Spain's oldest bullrings, this neoclassical building is considered the birthplace of modern bullfighting on foot. Dogs are not permitted inside the ring or museum, but the exterior plaza and surrounding streets are walkable on a leash.

A 19th-century public garden of tree-lined avenues leading to cliff-edge balconies overlooking the gorge. Leashed dogs are welcome throughout, and it's a shaded, pleasant rest stop, but stay close to your dog at the unguarded balcony viewpoints.

These well-preserved 13th-14th century Arab baths, at the foot of the old town near the Puente Viejo, recall Ronda's Islamic-era daily life. As an indoor archaeological monument, dogs are not permitted inside, but the approach path and surrounding riverside area are walkable on a leash.

The historic Moorish quarter south of the Puente Nuevo is a walkable network of plazas and narrow, partly cobblestoned streets. Leashed dogs are welcome throughout, but check paws after walking on the stone paving, especially in summer heat.

Terraced gardens descending the cliffside near the Puente de la Aldehuela, offering some of Ronda's most striking views of the gorge and countryside below. Leashed dogs can walk the garden paths, but the terraces are steep in places, so keep dogs close on the stairways.
