The Puente Nuevo in Ronda spans the Rio Guadalevín and the El Tajo Gorge, it connects the old town of La Ciudad with the newer district of El Mercadillo. The imposing bridge is the main attraction of the city. It was built in the 18th century after an arch bridge that had been erected shortly before collapsed in the same place after only a few months.
At Mirador you are never alone at the blue hour in the evening, I had to photograph so many couples in front of the bridge that I almost never got around to taking pictures myself...
