The Ronda region in Málaga, Spain, has completed the development of the Camino del Desfiladero del Tajo, a new hiking attraction through the local ravine. Designed by Luis Machuca Santa-Cruz, the project features walkways and wooden suspension bridges positioned above the Guadalevín River.

The project was executed in two phases. The first phase, initiated in 2024, improved access from Plaza de María Auxiliadora, created viewpoints, and rehabilitated the Casa Manolillo to serve as an interpretation center. The second phase involved the construction of a 500-meter wooden walkway stretching from the base of the Puente Nuevo to the old Ermita de San Miguel.

Following the final inauguration, the total cost of the project is reported at approximately 1.5 million euros. While the initial estimates noted a 675,000 euro investment, the completed project saw the Diputación de Málaga contributing over 1 million euros alongside the Ronda City Council. 

The completed one-kilometer itinerary allows visitors to experience the gorge from within the canyon at a height of three meters above the river. Local officials expect the trail to serve as a significant boost for regional tourism, enhancing the experience for the area’s two million annual visitors.
