Ronda



On Monday, Rebecca and I took a daytrip to Ronda. It is a white hill town in the province of Malaga and one of my favorite places in Andalucía. The town is adorable with lots of winding, steep roads and cute craft shops. Its most famous site is the Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) over a gorge. It’s scary to look down through the grates on the bridge to the abyss very far below.


We enjoyed a coffee overlooking the gorge. We sat with a view the rolling hills while listening to Spanish guitar. We wandered through the old Arab Baths and watched a video in Spanish about how they worked, which I actually understood. After lunch of paella and Iberian pork, we hiked down to a viewpoint to look at the bridge. The views were just spectacular. Well done, constructors of Ronda!
