We’re in Ronda for the day and spend several hours walking this morning, primarily in and below the old city. Some believe this is the most beautiful Andalusian town. Situated at 2,460 feet above sea level, it seems bigger than it’s actual size, a town of 35,000. Ernest Hemmingway said this is “the perfect place for a getaway with a friend or a honeymoon.” Another fan, Orson Wells is buried close by.
The town is divided by a ravine, separating the old Arab town from the more modern town. Puente Nuevo, the bridge separating the two haves of the city was build in the 18th century. Our hotel, Don Miguel is built on the edge of the ravine.
In the photo above, our hotel is in the upper right.
Although no longer practiced here, Ronda is known as the cradle of bullfighting. We visited the arena, built in 1785.
