Baños Árabes

Ronda


Backing onto Ronda’s river, these 13th-century Arab baths are among the best-preserved in all of Ի岹ܳí, with horseshoe arches, columns and clearly designated divisions between the hot and cold thermal areas. An excellent 10-minute video (in Spanish and English) helps you visualise the baths in their heyday. Enjoy the pleasant walk down here from the centre of town.
