Day one:Ronda

We arose after a surprisingly good sleep. After a brisk walk to the train station to pick up our car we headed off to Ronda.  Our instructions on how to get there from the rental car agent were very simple only two turns.  Unfortunately, that must be in some alternate dimension because it took many turns and a lot of google mapping to find our way out of Malaga.  So a quick 45 minutes of being lost behind us, we headed into the country. Our drive through the country was full of incredible views such as olive trees and crazy terrain.

On reaching Ronda we parked the car and started walking towards the gorge and the old town. We came to the edge of the hill that Ronda was built on and got a breathtaking view 

From there we walked to Ronda's famous "new" bridge which was built in 1793

From there we walked down the steep stone paths to the Arab baths,a memento of when the Moors ruled Spain. We got lucky and got in free because it was Monday.

We had a nice meal of tapas, but were curious as to what the "secret" meat was.After wandering through the town for a couple of hours we headed for the town's famous bullfighting ring, the oldest of that type of building in the world.There normally aren't any bullfights at this time of year, but we seemed to have found one

The bullfights must be quite the spectacle with the arena sitting 5000. Under the stands there is a royal collection of arms and bullfighting memorabilia, here is my personal favorite

This may just look like a regular cane but in reality it is actually a pistol cane.The bullring was pretty amazing and we all enjoyed our time there.
