Alameda del Tajo (Gorge Promenade), Ronda
The Gorge Promenade, formerly the San Carlos Promenade, is a tree-lined botanical garden, dating from the 19th century. It is located next to the Bullring and borders the edges of the precipice of Ronda Gorge. Lined with trees, named for children born on the day of planting, the pathway is noted for spectacular views.
Five different landscaped avenues lead to a vast area affording extraordinary views of the Ronda Gorge and the Ronda district. Some of the trees lining the avenues are more than 200 years old. Himalayan cedars, stone pines, and honey locusts can be found. The Caldron Handle is an impressive rock formation in the area, great for photos.
Statuary appears along the way. There is the Monument to the Goyesque Lady, a figure of a woman in a traditional costume created by sculptor Francisco Parra. There is a memorial statue of the famous Torero Pedro Romero and a group called Angels.
The English Path is a cliffside path that leads to the gardens of the Hotel Catalonia. The Path of the Limes is lined with lime-scented trees. Come to the Vicente Espinel Municipal Theater, a modern building with exposed brick, columns, and crystal windows.
Adjoining the Gorge Promenade is the park Gardens of Blas Infante. It has an open-air auditorium and of course, stunning views of El Tajo Gorge.

Ronda Introduction Walking Tour
Ancient rock paintings found in the area tell us Ronda was settled by Celts, who called it "Arunda." Phoenicians and Romans followed the Celts. Muslim rule was established in 713 by the Umayyads, who called it the "Castle of Rundah." Islamic domination ended in 1485 when Rodrigo, Duke of Cadiz, conquered the city.
