river valley


Explanation:
Perhaps "with views of the river valley" will work for you. "tajo" can mean ravine", but maybe this is a safe option. HTH anyway. :)

neutral  Juan Jacob: Ravine sí, valley, no (Valle).

  -> Mm.. Not sure how "river gap/gap of the river" works. I think for the tourism context "river valley" would work. However, my favourite so far is definitely David's answer, which works for the context and also depicts the idea of a "ravine". Thanks.

No completamente seguro del término exacto en inglés, though.
