Ronda Spain (October 23-24, 2024)

Miles of olive trees between Seville and Ronda
Roman bridge was original bridge with no other way connecting two sides of town
Ronda bull ring opened in 1784 – one of the oldest in Spain
One of the locals…
Our hotel patio, the Hotel Hemingway
Such special touches throughout our hotel room
The “new” bridge built in the late 1700’s is spectacular!
The canyon dividing two sections of Ronda
Get your hard hats before finishing the trail
I took so many photos!
You can barely see old buildings along the cliff wall – we could not get any closer but they were part of the original cliff side structures
Back up the hill…
I enjoyed a walking tour
Giant local tomatoes, convent and beautiful buildings

Ronda is a beautiful mountaintop city that’s set above a deep gorge. This gorge (El Tajo) separates the city’s circa-15th-century new town from its old town, dating to Moorish rule. Puente Nuevo, the new bridge, connected the old town to the new. New town’s Plaza de Toros, a legendary 18th-century bullring, is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks.

We enjoyed our short stay and all of its natural beauty! And the hard hats!!
