一座被分割的峡谷般的城镇(A gorge-ous town divided)

今天，我们将参观西班牙南部安达卢西亚马拉加省的山顶小镇隆达。最初由凯尔特人定居，后来由罗马人和摩尔人居住，这一引人注目的悬崖边环境被El-Tajo峡谷一分为二，这是一个岩石瀑布，垂直下落近400英尺，直达瓜达莱文河。有三座桥横跨峡谷，其中最大、最新的一座桥位于我们主页图像的中心，被恰当地称为Puente Nuevo（新桥）。尽管它的名字，这座桥已经有几个世纪的历史了——它是在1793年建成的，连接着摩尔人的老城La Ciudad和新城El Mercadillo。

Today we’re visiting the mountaintop town of Ronda in the Málaga province of Andalusia, in the south of Spain. First settled by the Celts and later inhabited by the Romans and Moors, this dramatic cliffside setting is split in two by the El Tajo gorge, a rocky drop plummeting nearly 400 feet to the Guadalevín River. There are three bridges that span the gorge, the largest and newest of which features in the center of our homepage image and is – appropriately enough – called Puente Nuevo (New Bridge). Despite its name, the bridge is more than a couple of centuries-old – it was completed in 1793 and connects the Moorish old town, La Ciudad, with the new town, El Mercadillo.
