New Bridge hosts Ronda Halloween hunt on 31 October

New Bridge (Puente Nuevo) in Ronda becomes part of the city’s Halloween programme on 31 October 2026, when a theatrical scavenger hunt will take place around the historic centre and the bridge. The activity draws on myths and bandit legends from the Serranía de Ronda, giving travellers a specific evening programme alongside the landmark’s permanent setting.

New Bridge becomes part of Ronda’s Halloween programme

The programme is included in a wider Ronda celebration for Saturday 31 October 2026. A report by La Opinion de Malaga says the theatrical hunt will use the historic centre and the surroundings of the bridge. Professional actors are due to appear as figures from the city’s past, while other Ronda neighbourhoods will hold their own horror activities.

The event belongs to Halloween 2026 rather than to a regular daily attraction. The Ronda municipal programme confirms the 31 October date and lists additional activities across the city, including a children’s parade, craft workshops and a horror attraction at the Convent of Santo Domingo. The bridge-related hunt is therefore one part of a wider programme in Ronda.

New Bridge’s 1793 setting frames the October event

The bridge provides a direct link between the Halloween programme and Ronda’s built landscape. The Spain Film Commission profile records that it was completed in 1793 and crosses a 100-metre-long gorge shaped by the Guadalevín River. It also identifies the bridge as one of the city’s main attractions.

Plaza de España marks the entrance to Ronda’s old quarter, known as La Ciudad, and the bridge connects that area with the newer part of the town. That layout explains why the Halloween hunt can use both the historic centre and the area around the crossing rather than a single enclosed venue. The central arch contains a small room that now houses an interpretation centre about the environment, history and city.

For visitors, the date places the activity at the end of October and within the current autumn travel period. The programme also gives the landmark a different role from its everyday function as a crossing over the gorge: on 31 October 2026, it forms part of a theatrical route based on local stories.
