Ronda- an ancient town high up on a plateau on top of a mountain range! Dizzy drive up to the town. Windy today- almost blew off the edge! It was supposed to rain today, but the wind blew the clouds away.
We spent the day touring Ronda and ate at the Escudor Hotel- the dining establishment that Michelle Obama visited recently! Visited a shop for cheese and salami treats!
We visited the haunts of Hemingway and the like. This was the writer's dream home away from home. He was close friends with a local, famous matador and stayed here much of the time and wrote some of his most famous works (The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bell Tolls). The view from the famous "New Bridge" of Ronda was worth it- new as compared to the one they were using in the 16th century! Tomorrow we're off to Seville including Flamenco Dancing and horse dressage exhibition - most of our horses were descendants of Spanish horses. We'll spend the night in Seville and return to Torremolinos in two days! Will learn more tomorrow!
