Road Trip (part 1): Ronda

My dad’s visit gave us a perfect excuse to take a little road trip. Given the hot temperatures inland, we decided to head into the hills (higher elevation and less humidity) and chose Ronda.

Ronda is a beautiful town perched on the cliffs of the deep Tajo canyon. The canyon divides the town into two areas, Old Town (built in the time of the Moors) and New Town (which is also quite old).

The Old and New parts of town are separated by bridges: Old Bridge and New Bridge.

The best thing about Ronda are the views.

Many of the views are lovingly called “¡Qué coño!” views, which is a bad word, but fits the view perfectly.

That is us standing out on that balcony.

It is also just a beautiful town full of old historic buildings that was fun to walk around.

And maybe my second favorite thing were the doors.

We all loved Ronda and left with happy memories.

Next stop: La Cueva de la Pileta!
