      Full day in Ronda - part 1

      27 Eylül 2019, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 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.

      Exploring Ronda

      26 Eylül 2019, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 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.

      Ronda apartment

      26 Eylül 2019, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 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.Okumaya devam et

      Ronda

      26 Eylül 2019, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      We arrived in Ronda around 1.30pm, and José gave us a quick tour around the city pointing out some of the key landmarks and recommending a couple of restaurants. He then dropped us off in our street which is right near the bridge (Puente Nuevo), the centre of all the action. As we were a bit early, and the apartment was still being cleaned, we walked up the street to a local tapas bar and decided to have some lunch - it turned out to be a great decision, as the food was fabulous, the wine and beer cold, and the two young guys who ran it really friendly.

      Our apartment was ready by 2pm, but as we were having fun trying a range of tapas, we weren’t in such a hurry and, as we only had to walk about 25 meters down the road, there was no rush.

      Ronda

      30 Ocak, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      Am selben Abend kommen wir in Ronda an. Wir parkieren unseren Camper auf eine Wiese vor einer steilen Klippe und schlendern rüber nach Ronda. Wahnsinn, die Brücke, die sie hier früher über die Schlucht gebaut haben!

      Bekannt ist Ronda vor allem für seine Lage: die maurisch geprägte Altstadt, La Ciudad, liegt auf einem rundum steil abfallenden Felsplateau. Die Altstadt ist vom jüngeren Stadtteil, El Mercadillo, durch eine knapp 100 m tiefe, vom Río Guadalevín gebildete, Tajo de Ronda genannte Schlucht getrennt. Überspannt wird der Abgrund von drei Brücken: die Puente Árabe („Arabische Brücke“), die Puente Viejo („Alte Brücke“) und die bekannteste, die im 18. Jahrhundert erbaute Puente Nuevo („Neue Brücke“).
      Die Wirtschaft der Stadt ist heute zum Großteil auf den Tourismus ausgerichtet. Täglich strömen tausende Tagesbesucher von den Urlaubsorten an der Costa del Sol nach Ronda. Daneben gibt es Betriebe zur Verarbeitung landwirtschaftlicher Produkte und traditionell auch zur Herstellung von Möbeln.

      Besuch der Stierkampfarena 🦬

      6 Ocak 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C

      Heute stand Kultur auf dem Programm. Wir besuchten die berühmte Stierkampfarena von Ronda. Sie gilt als eine der ältesten und eine der schönsten ihrer Art. Die Anlage gilt als Vorbild für die meisten Stierkampfarenen der Welt. Außer uns waren nur wenige andere Besucher vor Ort und so konnten wir uns alles in aller Ruhe anschauen. Über den Audio Guide erhielten wir interessante Erklärungen auf deutsch.

      In der Bar Las Maravillas kamen wir bei 11 Grad im Schatten in den Genuss köstlicher Tapas:

      Gerne hätten wir auch nochmals das direkt ggü. der Arena gelegene urige Restaurante "Pedro Romero Ronda" besucht, das wir aus 2016 kennen. Aufgrund der Wanddekoration mit ganz vielen Bildern berühmter Stierkämpfer hat es eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre. Wegen der aktuell hohen Inzidenz (Andalusien 700, Spanien 1.400) essen wir aber ausschließlich draußen und so kam ein Besuch nicht in Betracht 🙄.

      Stierkampf in Ronda

      20 Mart 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Heute ist Frūhlingsanfang, das hat auch der Petrus gemerkt, und uns schönes Wetter geschickt.
      Noch auf dem Campingplatz in Setenil konnten wir unser WoMo mit dem Hochdruckreiniger von dem gröbsten Schmutz, der sich in den letzten Wochen daran festgeklebt hat, befreien.
      Die kurze Fahrt nach Ronda bei Sonne, Wolken und Sturmböen verlief reibungslos. Wir fanden in Ronda auch sofort einen Platz, um uns "nieder zu lassen".
      Ronda ist wieder eine "weisse Stadt", so wie unzählige andere. Aber auch sie hat ihre Besonderheiten und liegt auf der Top-Ten Liste der Reiseveranstalter ganz oben.
      Die vielen Touristen und geführten Touren bestätigen dies.
      Die Stadt liegt auf Hügeln, die von tiefen Schluchten umgeben sind, verbunden durch atemberaubenden Brücken.
      Natürlich findet man etliche Kirchen und Museen, jedoch muss man für alles Eintritt bezahlen.
      Der Zufall wollte es, dass wir in eine Kirche traten, in der gerade ein Gottesdienst statt fand (die Türen stehen immer offen). Im Gegensatz zu unseren Gotteshäusern war dieses voll mit Gläubigen besetzt.
      Das Wetter war zwar gut, aber die 15 Grad und der Sturm liessen die Temperatur frostig wirken, so suchten wir ein hübsches Kaffee, um uns wieder aufzuwärmen.

      Wusste jemand, dass Ronda eine der Hochburgen des Strierkampfes ist ? Hier wurden die ersten und besten Stiere, Pferde und Matadore ausgebildet. Noch heute sei es eine Ehre für jeden Matador, wenn er hier in der einzigen runden Arena auftreten darf. Wir haben die Arena besucht und viel über den Stierkampf, seine Entstehung und heutige Bedeutung gelernt. Zum Beispiel, das nicht nur der Stierkämpfer (Matador), sondern alle Teilnehmer einer Corrida, die etwas mit dem Stier (Toro) zu tun haben, als Toreros bezeichnet werden.
      Wir bummelten weitere Kilometer durch die belebte Stadt und kamen gerade zu unserem mobilen Zuhause zurück, als Petrus die Schleusen wieder öffnete.

      Travel Day - Seville to Ronda

      17 Ocak 2018, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      We had a 9:30 a.m. bus to catch so I felt it would be wise to take a taxi to the station to avoid the morning rush hour crowds, and John didn’t argue with me. Surprisingly, the streets were quiet and I noticed that the buses were empty. I concluded that the Spanish aren’t morning people because they eat and drink late into the evening on any day of the week. Also, sunrise isn’t until 8:40 so it is always tough to get out of bed when it is still dark outside. Our 130 km bus ride was uneventful except before leaving the bus station John decided to go to the bathroom and got back a minute before departure time! Passengers are responsible for loading and unloading your own luggage so I had a real struggle with his 50 pound suitcase.

      The scenery along the two lane narrow highway was pretty with green, rolling hills. We passed several spandex-clad cyclists so this must be a popular route for biking road trips. On arrival in Ronda our hotel was a 20 minute walk. The Catalonia Ronda was a splurge at $120 but we were assigned a two room suite with a view of the hills and bull ring. It has been our nicest hotel so far.

      Ronda has a population of 34,000 and is one of the largest white hill towns, where most of the buildings are whitewashed. Although the town appears to be flat, we walked across the street to an area called the New Bridge and discovered that the town is actually clinging to the walls of a canyon. It was such an amazing sight to see. The sun was shining; it was 23 degrees; and there were two buskers, one playing the harp and the other a guitar and pan flute. What a way to make a good first impression!

      Ronda - gorge....ous!!

      17 Ocak 2018, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      We walked around town admiring the historic buildings and homes. The ravine divides the old Moorish town with the newer town. John wasn’t used to the heat but easily found many resting spots. Although Ronda was very tourist-laden, we were happy we had included it in our itinerary.Okumaya devam et
