Two friends of mine from Sweden joined me in Benalmadena for a week. Together, we rented a car and drove to Ronda which is one and a half hours' drive away. Ronda is supposedly one of the loveliest and most historical towns of Malaga.

Streets of Ronda. You see the usual souvenir shops and eateries.
Plaza de Toros - The Bullring. We didn’t get a chance to look inside as it was closed.
Offering unforgettable views over the El Tajo gorge. The Puente Nuevo, which means New Bridge in English, was actually completed in 1793 and took forty-two years to build. The bridge joins the old Moorish town and the newer, El Mercadillo parts of the city. It is, by far, Ronda’s most famous landmark.
It is quite breath-taking. I am afraid the simple phone camera does not do it justice.

One of Spain’s most famous hotels, the Parador, sits adjacent to the bridge and is well worth a visit. The views of the El Tajo gorge are unforgettable.
If you have the time, walk down into the gorge along the Camino de los Molinos. The views are the best to be had. It is said that In Spring, the whole valley floor is awash with flowers.
Some views of the place.
All in all, it was a lovely day out. My friends and I agreed that it was well worth the visit. Great friends, great company, lots of merry making... what holidays are all about.
