Stand at the floor of the El Tajo gorge and the Puente Nuevo stops being a bridge and becomes a wall of sunlit stone with a keyhole of sky cut through it. That is the view this original vintage-style Ronda print holds, set in a black wood frame and ready to hang the day it arrives. A ready-made gift for anyone who has walked across it, or plans to.
The design is drawn flat from inside the gorge looking up — the Puente Nuevo bridging two towering cliff faces, burnt orange where the sun rakes across them and slate blue in shadow, its tall central arch framing a patch of sky, distant hills and white village houses, with a smaller pointed-arch span and railing set lower in the gorge below it. A multi-storey building and a lone tree sit on the clifftop at upper left, green scrub clings to the rock, and a leafy tree anchors the lower right. RONDA runs across the deep blue sky above ANDALUSIA, SPAIN set between thin rules, the whole piece worked in deep blue, burnt orange, tan sandstone, olive green and cream. It is an original illustration for a Ronda poster, not a scan of an old print. It is printed on 189 g/m² heavyweight matte art paper, 10.3 mil thick — an uncoated stock that keeps the flat colour edges crisp without a hint of glare — and arrives framed in slim black ayous wood behind an acrylite front protector, with the hanging hardware already fitted.

Quick answers
Does it come framed, and in what sizes?
Yes — 12″ × 16″, 16″ × 20″, or 18″ × 24″ portrait, in a black ayous wood frame, 0.75″ (1.9 cm) thick, with an acrylite front protector and the hanging hardware already fitted. It arrives ready to hang.
Which size should I choose?
The 12″ × 16″ works well for desk nooks, hallways, gallery walls, and gifting. The 16″ × 20″ is a versatile choice above a sofa, bed, or console. The 18″ × 24″ creates more impact in living rooms, above larger furniture, or as a statement wall piece.
Is this a reprint of a vintage original?
No. It is an original illustration drawn in the mid-century travel-poster tradition — flat colour, clean edges, bold lettering — and a new composition made for RaZits. It is not a scan of a historic print.
How deep is the gorge the Puente Nuevo crosses?
The El Tajo gorge, cut by the Guadalevín river, is roughly 100 to 120 metres deep where the Puente Nuevo crosses it, and the bridge joins Ronda's old Moorish town to the newer quarter across the ravine. It was completed in 1793 and remains the city's most famous landmark.
