Ronda

Ronda is one of Andalucia's loveliest towns, steeped in history. It stands on a towering plateau in the mountains of Malaga Province, and is famous throughout Spain for the plunging river gorge which divides the medieval from the 18th century parts of the town. This gorge is known as "El Tajo" - The Cliff and is spanned by a stone bridge, which once housed a prison. Visitors love to peer down into the gorge, to see the waters of the River Guadalevín

Ronda is also famous for its bullring, the oldest, and the most beautiful one in Spain; the arena itself is also the country's largest. When there are no fights, the bullring is open to visitors, and has a fascinating museum with many mementos of Spain's most renowned bullfighters.

As with the other outings Steve and Sheila will collect from your holiday accommodation at times you choose and drive you to Ronda. The journey takes 2 - 2.5 hours so you may wish for a break on route. As usual the day is yours to organise as you wish. In distance terms the journey is not as far as Cordoba but the last quarter of the route follows a mountainous windy road. The views are stunning, but progress is slower. We usually drop guests by the bull ring. We agree a time to collect guests and at the agreed time we meet up again for the drive back.
