Hola Ronda!

We were on the move again today heading to Seville. On the way we stopped at a small tourist town called Ronda. There were loads of tourists around and there were a couple of big draw cards in the town, being the amazing view from its cliff top location, the first bull fighting ring built in 1784, and the Puente Nuevo bridge across the Guadalevin River.

Ronda is cut in half by a very deep gorge and in the early 1700s they built a bridge across it which collapsed a few years later. The current one was built in 1793 and has a dark history. During the Spanish Civil War 1936 to 39 political prisoners were tortured or thrown off the bridge to their deaths. It is an impressive bridge and a huge tourist attraction.

We scored some lunch and walked around town for a bit.

After Ronda we were on the road again to Seville. The landscape has really changed from the mountainous region of Grenada to the flat plains around Seville. It was also a lot hotter in Seville in the high 30 degrees.

It was pretty late in the day so we had a dinner at the hotel. Tomorrow we explore Seville some more.Read more
