Longda New Bridge

The Longda New Bridge spans the El Tajo Gorge, which is 120 meters high, connecting the old city and the new city as one. Standing on the bridge and looking down, the cliffs and the bridge blend together, as if a bridge grew out from the depths of the canyon. From a distance, the cliffs, stone bridge, and white houses are intertwined, creating a magical sight as if a fire-breathing dragon could fly over at any moment. Different times of the day bring different feelings to the new bridge, so it is recommended to take your time and enjoy it at different times if possible.

El Tajo gorge

Heading down the steep El Tajo gorge, you can appreciate the unique and charming scenery. The flowing water, waterfalls, cliffs, and giant rocks complement each other, and every step is full of different beautiful views. The bridge rises straight up, and the white houses cling to the cliff, which is breathtaking. Most of the locals live at the bottom of the valley, and the white walls and orange-red tiles of the houses emit a peaceful and leisurely atmosphere.

Longda Bullfighting Arena

The Dragon Ridge Bullfighting Arena has a long history and is the birthplace of modern Spanish bullfighting. It attracts countless bullfighters to participate in competitions every year. Standing on the sandy ground of the bullring, you can feel the passion and fighting spirit of bullfighting with your own eyes. Climbing to a high place and overlooking the panoramic view of the bullring, the view is very vast. There are also exquisite and interesting bullfighting patterns on the steps, with a strong sense of history and worth savoring carefully.

Smurf Village - Huska

If time permits, it is strongly recommended to visit the "Smurf Village" located only 40 kilometers away from Longda. The buildings in the whole town are painted blue just like the Smurfs in the movie. Coming here is like being in the real hometown of the Smurfs, giving people a surprise that feels like childhood dreams come true. Each house wall is decorated with different themed graffiti, and colorful patterns can easily turn into cool and creative photos with a snap of the fingers.

Arch of Philip V

Heading east from the fork on the south side of the Longda New Bridge, it takes about 10 minutes to reach the Puerta de Felipe V. Named after the Spanish king, Felipe V, this archway was once a necessary passage in and out of the town. Although the original gate was damaged, it has been rebuilt and now has a more beautiful appearance. Additionally, the gate is very suitable for taking pictures and is a must-visit location for tourists.

Longda Old Bridge

Through the Philip V Gate, walk along the road and you will reach the Old Bridge. There are not many tourists here, which makes it feel peaceful and comfortable. Although the Old Bridge is not as spectacular as the New Bridge, it has an unusual historical charm. Especially at the top of the hour, you can also hear the nearby church's melodious bells, which is very pleasant~
