Funny Smurf village, whose house facades are painted blue, as the village was chosen for a Smurf film. A later vote by the villagers resulted in them keeping the blue color as the house paint. Some houses have paintings, and there is also a town map that points to the attractions.

The former Smurf village still has blue houses and wall paintings, but the freestanding figures are gone. We learned from residents that Sony demanded high licensing fees and so the figures disappeared.

The structure is made of massive stone and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the gorge below. Inside the bridge, there is a small room that was formerly used as a prison. A symbol of Ronda's impressive architecture and history. The Puente Nuevo in Ronda is a real highlight and an absolute must for those seeking impressive views and an unforgettable experience.
