Overview

Ronda is a city split by a gorge and held together by one of the most breathtaking bridges in Spain — the walk finds out what both sides have to say.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Ronda on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Follow riddles to the Puente Nuevo, the Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, and the Jardines de Cuenca — engineering wonder, Moorish heritage, and cliff-edge gardens
• Move through Ronda at your own pace with no fixed schedule
• Suits couples, families, and groups of any size

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.

What to expect

Starting at Pl. de la Merced, 1, 29400 Ronda, Málaga, Spain, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message. You're standing in the new town, moments from one of the most dramatic natural settings of any city in Europe.

Your first landmark is the Puente Nuevo, the New Bridge spanning the 120-metre El Tajo gorge that divides Ronda in two. Built over 40 years in the 18th century, it remains the defining image of the city and an engineering achievement that never loses its ability to stop visitors mid-step.

From there the app takes you to the Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, the old city's central square framed by the church of Santa María la Mayor, built on the site of a mosque after the Christian reconquest — its minaret repurposed as a bell tower in the most literal act of architectural succession.

The route concludes at the Jardines de Cuenca, cliff-edge gardens hanging above the Guadalevín river, where viewpoints over the gorge reward every step.

Around 2 hours on foot. Wear comfortable shoes for the stone paths and some steep sections.
