      Ronda

      June 18, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Ronda, die Stadt, die auf einem beeindruckenden Felsplateau thront, gehört in Andalusien auch als Kleinstadt in mehrfacher Hinsicht zu den Großen. Sie reiht sich ein in die Liste der „weißen Dörfer“ und hat schon bedeutende Literaten wie Rainer Maria Rilke und Ernest Hemingway mit ihrem Zauber zu langen Aufenthalten verführt.Read more

      Plaza de Toros, Ronda

      May 20, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      This morning we did a tour of the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballeria de Ronda, the bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda. The defence needs of the territory in 1572 resulted in the founding of the Real Maestranza de Caballeria de Ronda and it was necessary that a space was built for the handling of the horses and their exercises.

      As was traditional in Spain in the Middle Ages, dexterity games with bulls were included. The bravery of the bulls when attacking horses and riders served as unparalleled training for the knights and became an exciting spectator the entire population. In the 18th century bullfighters on foot take over from the knights in the games with the bulls and bullfight continued from there along with the expansion of the bull ring.

      While I think bull fighting is not a nice sport and very cruel I can’t help but admire the pageantry that goes with it, the vibrant colours, lush materials, the artistry of it all. It leaves me with very mixed feelings. The long history is interesting and the feeling standing in the bullring is hard to put into words. It was worth the visit.      Read more

      Malaga - die Stadt Picassos

      October 16, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Malaga ist mit seinen 569.000 Einwohnern die sechsgrößte Stadt in Spanien. Sie zählt auch zu den ältesten Städten Spaniens. Viele Kulturen siedelten hier und nutzten die gute Lage und den Zugang zum Meer.

      In baulicher Hinsicht war Malaga vor allem islamisch-maurisch geprägt und wurde im 8. Jh. v.Chr. von den Phöniziern gegründet. Die christlichen Könige setzten nach der Eroberung 1487 alles dran, dieses Erbe schnell auszulöschen.
      Schmale enge Gassen und Straßen im Zentrum sind heute ein Spiegel dieser Zeit.

      Wir hatten eine Stadtführung zu vielen interessanten Plätzen und Baudenkmäler, wie z. B. den ehemaligen Palast La Alcazaba.      Read more

      Lunch time in Ronda

      September 27, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      After a morning of climbing, walking and exploring, we decided it was time for a bocadillo (sandwich) and a non alcoholic drink. We found this little Bodega called Casa Don Curro that was like an Aladdin’s cave of wine, cheese, charcuterie and other delicious treasures. It was tiny with only two small tables and we grabbed the free one. As soon as we entered the store we were offered some cheese to taste which was delicious so my bocadillo was cheese and tomato and Ian had jamon and cheese. It was one of the most devious sandwiches I have had. We decided not to have any wine as there was still a bit of walking and exploring to do after lunch. The owner was very friendly and encouraged us to try a pastry from Ronda when we had our coffee. Left the Bodega fully satisfied and reenergised to take on what the rest of the day had to offer.Read more

      Exploring Ronda

      September 26, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Once we had unpacked and put on some washing, we set off to explore the town of Ronda. We walked across the Puente Nuevo (bridge), which was very crowded with tour groups. We were able to locate our apartment from the other side of the gorge quite easily. We decided to follow a walking path that went behind the Parador Hotel, and took us around past the Plaza de Toro (Bull Ring) and the Alameda Del Tajo, a lovely shaded square. We also passed the Plaza de la Merced, and then wound our way through the narrow streets, coming across the Plaza Del Socorro which was full of cafes and restaurants. As it was warm, we went in search of ice cream, which we finally located at Plaza de España - I had lemon, strawberry and mandarin sorbet, which was delicious. Ian chose an ice cream of nuts and caramel we think!

      We were trying to find a supermarket so we could get some milk - when Ian asked the guy in the ice cream shop, he offered to sell us a bottle which was very kind. He also explained that there was a supermarket express down a street we had walked - we hadn’t noticed, as our focus had been on locating ice cream! We also have a lovely etching gallery in our street which had some beautiful pieces, we will return tomorrow to purchase one.

      We headed back to our apartment to relax and watch the sun set over the bridge and gorge, before heading out for dinner at our local tapas bar. I am loving this town, it is really something special.      Read more

      Full day in Ronda - part 1

      September 27, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      We headed out about 9.30 this morning. First we went to the Tourist Information Centre to find out where the path to the bottom of the gorge was, but they don’t open till 10am, so we just decided to cross the Bridge and find our own way there. Turns out it wasn’t too difficult, and it was well sign posted. We found the entrance to the walkway off Plaza Maria Auxiliadora, and followed it down on the western side of the gorge. We also went off the main path onto a side branch that was less well maintained, and this path that took us down until we were nearly under the bridge. It also afforded great views of the waterfall.

      We headed back up to the main walkway, and continued to descend into the gorge until we were in the best spot to get a great shot of the waterfall and bridge. Most of this walk was done in the shade, and while the temperatures were low 20’s. We then started the climb back up. On the way we saw some school kids being taken up in a tethered hot air balloon in the valley below, the balloon was getting up to about 50 to 60 metres, and then descending again to take up another group of students, who all seemed to be enjoying the ride immensely.

      After our epic walk into the gorge and back again we had a coffee and a bit of a rest. We then decided to just wander the streets and see what we encountered.      Read more

      Museum of Ronda

      September 27, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      The first thing we encountered as we wandered the beautiful narrow streets of Ronda was their Museum, which is housed in a most beautiful building that used to be a palace - Palacio De Mondragón - which has been beautifully maintained. Turns out Friday 27 September was “World Tourism Day”, so we had free entry into the museum. There was an exhibition upstairs that took you through the history of Ronda and about the different groups that invaded, overthrew or built particular aspects of the city. What I was most interested in was the architecture and design of the palace, including the courtyards, fountains and mosaic work. The views across the valley weren’t too shabby either.Read more

      Ronda apartment

      September 26, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      We got into our apartment, and were slightly overwhelmed by the view, which we have from nearly every room. We were pretty happy with the apartment. It is spacious and comfortable, and has great views. Also, it is located in the heart of the old town, where all the action is.Read more
