Ronda

This is one of Spain’s oldest communities first founded by the Islam’s in the 9th century. Ronda is divided by a magnificent gorge that separates the old town from the new town, relatively speaking. Although the gorge and surrounding landscape is beautiful the bridge that spans the gorge is a structural gem. Not surprisingly Ronda is also home to Spain’s largest and oldest bull fighting ring.

We heard that not even 15 years ago Ronda maintained a fairly quiet existences and people loved its special charm. Every day countless visitors embark on this community daily arriving in a steady stream of tour buses. It feels to me maybe a little of the charm people speak about may have been lost.
