“A very well known destination in Malaga, Ronda is exceptionally beautiful,” said Viajar. 

“Its story began in the Bronze age and since then, the centuries have left their mark in every corner.” 

They also called the famous Puente Nuevo ‘magical’ with ‘film-worthy’ views. 

“A film would have to include one of Ronda’s fiestas, typical of Andalucia,” they added.

Other Andalucian towns also made the list, with Vejer de la Frontera chosen for Cadiz and Guadix for Granada.
