Hotel Catalonia Ronda

Located on Ronda’s high street, this chic hotel is a two-minute walk from the spectacular gorge-spanning Puente Nuevo.  

The x-factor here is the irresistible infinity pool and rooftop bar, offering breathtaking views into the historic 18th–century ‘cathedral of bull fighting’ and across to the Sierra de Grazalema mountains, at their most beautiful when backlit by frisson-giving sunsets. 

Rooms, in metallic bronze, gold and silver tones, are comfortable and filled with light; some suites have balconies, and there’s parking nearby, making it a great stopover for anyone touring the White Villages.
