Ronda

[Susan Umberger]

Today we took off on a lengthy journey, but one we really wanted to do regardless of the weather.  We went to Ronda, Spain's home of bullfighting and the town which is split by lovely bridges over a steep gorge. It is indeed on of the loveliest towns we saw, even in gray weather.  The old town has a charm unlike any other, and the parks and outlooks, as well as the hikes, were soooo much fun!  We drove into town and parked in a lot that was well marked, with signage easy to understand about times etc.  (Make sure you carry lots of change!)  This is the birthplace of modern bullfighting, and the bull ring is beautiful, along with the museum.  You can walk right out onto the dirt!  Here are photos from Ronda...note I edited in a blue sky--it was a gray rainy day!
