What a spectacular view. Don't look down if you are frightened of heights!

On the other side of the bridge, you will find the 16th century Convent of San Francisco and the historic gates of El Almocabar and Carlos V, which give access to the old town. Here you can enjoy many examples of Ronda's ancient history.
