SPAIN - Ronda













The city walls of Ronda.








The whitewashed city of Ronda


















Lance looking like a total tourist :) I love it!







The oldest bullring in the world.


The beautiful breathtaking view!

On Thursday, we rented a car and drove up into the mountains to a quaint little village called Ronda, known for it's giant gorges, city bridges and the oldest bullring in the world (where bullfighing originated.) It is one of the many whitewashed villages scattering the romantic countryside of Southern Spain. Ronda was beautiful and Lance fell in love with it, it was his favorite place of the entire trip. We spent the whole day there, exploring the city and visiting the bullring, the museums and cathredral. We ate dinner at a little cafe on one of the narrow cobblestone streets at dusk, we had another typical Spanish dish: torilla de patata also known as tortilla espanola and pollo asado. The best part of Ronda was the breathtaking view of the gorges - gorgeous. Everything about Ronda was absolutely charming!
