About
- Public baths from the Nasrid period, among the best preserved in the Iberian Peninsula
- Cold, warm and hot rooms, with vaults and star-shaped skylights
- Audiovisual explaining how they worked
- End of the new Camino del Desfiladero del Tajo
Good to know
- Small capacity (25 people outside and 10 in the audiovisual room): in high season you may have to wait
- It is included in the Ronda Tourist Pass (about €12) along with the Palacio de Mondragón and the Puente Nuevo visitor centre
- The way back to the centre is uphill
- A perfect fit after finishing the Camino del Desfiladero, or with the Puente Viejo and the Arab Bridge
