Help Me Ronda, Yeah!


Remnant of old castle, Moorish, Ronda did not fall until
1485, one of the last...

The gorge, from the huge 18th century
bridge












The aforementioned bridge













From the other side of the bridge, in the Civil
War, both sides cast their enemies into the
gorge...

Church











In addition to the bull ring (see next post), I also
patronized the modern art museum and the
Museum of Banditry (big in Ronda in the early
19th century)


Next we drove to Ronda, which sits on a high gorge overlooking a valley and the Sierras. I spent a day exploring on foot and then we stayed at one of the more interesting (but very nice) campgrounds we have been in lately.
