Ronda

Ronda (Arabic Runda), a mountain town in the province of Málaga in al-Andalus (modern Andalusia, Spain), dramatically sited above a deep gorge, was a town of the Nasrid frontier. It is the birthplace of the Shadhili Sufi and spiritual writer Ibn Abbad al-Rundi (d. 1390), known for his commentary on the Hikam of Ibn Ata Allah, who took his nisba from Ronda.
