Guadalevín
The Guadalevín is a tributary of the river Guadiaro in Málaga, Andalusia, Spain. Its gorge divides the city of Ronda where it is spanned by three bridges, ''Puente Nuevo'', ''Puente Viejo'' and '' Puente Romano''. The following is a translation of the Spanish Wikipedia article on the Guadalevin. The Guadalevín River is a short river in the south of Spain (Andalusia) that runs entirely through the Serranía de Ronda, west of the province of Málaga, Spain. It originates in the Sierra de las Nieves, in the municipality of Igualeja, and ends at the Guadiaro river; it is thus in the Mediterranean basins of Andalusia and belongs to its hydrological demarcation. Almost all of its course has been declared a Special Conservation Zone (ZEC). Its name comes from the Arabic “Wadi-al-Laban” (river of milk). Course The headwaters of the Guadalevín river is located in the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, specifically in the Cañada del Cuerno, the nucleus of the Pinsapar de Ron ...

Puente Nuevo
The ''Puente Nuevo'' (, "New Bridge") is the newest and largest of three bridges that span the chasm that carries the Guadalevín River and divides the city of Ronda, in southern Spain. Completed in 1793, the architect was José Martin de Aldehuela and the chief builder was Juan Antonio Díaz Machuca. The construction of the newest bridge (the one standing as of 2017) was started in 1759 and took 34 years. There is a chamber above the central arch that was used for a variety of purposes, including as a prison. During the 1936–1939 civil war both sides allegedly used the prison as a torture chamber for captured opponents, killing some by throwing them from the windows to the rocks at the bottom of the El Tajo gorge.Thomas (1961). p. 176. The chamber is entered through a square building that was once the guard-house. It now contains an exhibition describing the bridge's history and construction. Construction of the previous bridge started in 1735; this was the first attempt to s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Serranía De Ronda
The Serranía de Ronda is a comarca in the western part of the province of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain. As is currently (as of 2009) the norm in Andalusia, it has no formal status.

It contains both the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park - reputedly one of the wettest regions in Spain - and the Sierra de las Nieves.
