About Ronda, Spain
Ronda (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈronda]) is a municipality of Spain belonging to the province of Málaga, within the autonomous community of Andalusia. Ronda sits on the Ronda Depression, a Miocene plateau at around 600–800 metres above mean sea level with fertile land suitable for growing the Mediterranean triad of wheat, olive and vines. The city is cut off by a deep gorge ('el Tajo'), carrying the Guadalevín river. It is traditionally identified with ancient Arunda, populated under Iberians and Romans, and one of the main urban centers of the depression in the High Imperial period along with Acinipo and Lacilbula. Head of a kūra, and then of a brief statelet, under Islamic rule, it consolidated as a regional cog in the late middle ages within the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. It was taken by force by the Crown of Castile in 1485.

About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Ronda, Spain from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. Outside the United States the heights come from open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point.
The model covers a 5 by 5 kilometer square centered on 36.7462, -5.1613. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:33,300. The heights are exaggerated 3× so the shape is easy to see and feel; you can change that when you customize the model. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base.
