CULTURAL HERITAGE
Andalusia, a rare beauty; the essence of the Mediterranean spirit
Andalusia A little strip of paradise between the north and south, blessed with a pleasant climate, hundreds of kilometres of coastline, a wide variety of scenery and an innate understanding of good living.
A Over the millennia, this melting pot of civilisations has inspired musicians, artists and poets, from Seneca to Lorca and from Almanzor to Hemingway. It is an extraordinarily hospitable and fertile land, built on a human scale, as beautiful as its poetry.
Ronda is in the province of Malaga — an area of light, flavour and excitement, birthplace of Picasso… a land without winter.
The tiny city of Ronda is a hidden gem of Mediterranean living, reserved for those who know how to discover it.
History
An awe-inspiring heritage
With its exceptional geographical and climatic conditions, Ronda has acted as a catalyst for different civilisations; Celts, Tartessians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians and —above all— Romans and Arabs, all left their mark upon the region.
Itsexotic constructions, its labyrinthine streets, its dizzyingly high bridge, the majestic Baroque bull ring, the Roman and medieval remains: are all historical vestiges of its unmatched heritage.
Ronda, historic and awe-inspiring, proud and beautiful, is also a welcoming twenty-first century shopping and services town.
An ancient city of a unique, majestic beauty, Ronda is ever-captivating, overlooking the endless horizon of the sierra from its vast stone vantage point.
FOOD AND WINE
Quality, variety and excellence are the adjectives that best define Ronda’s gastronomic and oenological tradition.
The local ecosystem, with its lines of holm oaks, its olive groves and its vineyards, its forests and orchards, provides a store of products that are valued across the world.
Wine is the star product, alongside oil, delicious varieties of legumes and vegetables, acorn and chestnut-fed Iberian hams, meat and game, cheese and fruit of the forest… These ingredients combine with a rich culinary heritage and the skill of today’s masters to provide an extraordinary cuisine, that is reflected in every dish.
Wines of Ronda: an extraordinary marriage of tradition and innovation.
The climate, the geology and the skill of new generations of oenologists add all the necessary qualities to deliver wines that have earned international acclaim.
Authentic sensory experiences.
