Ronda sits on top of its cliffs, so crossing the bridge means looking down into the gorge. This one stands at the bottom and looks up — the Puente Nuevo lit burnt orange by a low sun, its tall central arch open to a sliver of sky between two sheer cliff walls. An original vintage-style Ronda poster of the city's best-known landmark, printed to order.
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. Printed to order on heavyweight matte art paper with a smooth, uncoated surface that keeps those hard colour edges crisp and readable from across the room. No glare, no plastic sheen, no photograph: just paper and ink.
- Paper: 189 g/m2 (10.3 mil) heavyweight matte art stock — substantial enough to hang unframed without curling
- Finish: uncoated matte — no glare under lamps, windows or gallery lighting
- Opacity: 94%, so a wall colour or a second sheet behind it never shows through
- Brightness: 104% ISO — a bright white base that keeps the flat colour blocks saturated
- Origin: paper milled in Japan; every poster is printed to order, never warehoused
Size chart
| Poster size | Art panel (centred) | Works well |
|---|---|---|
| 12"" × 18"" | 12 × 15 in | desk shelves, small nooks, gallery-wall filler |
| 18"" × 24"" | 18 × 22.5 in | bedrooms, home offices, above a console or sofa |
| 24"" × 36"" | 24 × 30 in | living rooms, stairwells, a single statement wall |
The illustration is a 4:5 panel centred on the sheet with an even margin above and below, so it sits well in an off-the-shelf frame with or without a mat. Ships rolled in a protective tube, unframed.
Quick answers
Which size should I order? The 18″ × 24″ is the safe default for most walls. Take the 12″ × 18″ for a desk, a shelf or as part of a gallery cluster, and the 24″ × 36″ when the poster is meant to be the focal point of the room.
Does it come framed? No — it ships rolled and unframed in a protective tube. All three sizes are standard US frame sizes, so a shop-bought frame fits without a custom mat. A ready-to-hang framed version of this design is listed separately.
Is this a reprint of an old travel poster? 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.
