Visit to Ronda

The rain seemed to be holding off so we headed into the mountains to the ancient Roman and then Moorish city of Ronda. We had heard that this city was a must and we were not disappointed. The city was establish in the ninth century. It is located in a high plateau and straddles a gorge 360' over the river. The old town and the new town (built in 1485) across from each other! The new bridge was built in 1751!
Upon arrival we parked on the new side where we visited a very old bull ring. Later we crossed the new bridge to see La Ciudad, the old Moorish town.
