Old town and countryside

Ronda was another possible stop, but since we decided we weren’t going to go to the Alhambra in Granada, 360 kms after just seeing the Alcazar in Seville, it became a definite on our way to Marbella. Eventually this will lead us to Gibraltar in the next few days before crossing to Morocco. And we will see many Alhambra’s in Morocco.

Ronda was nothing short of a picture post card perfect with scenic views, panoramas,  ruins etc. We stayed at Hotel Ronda in the old part of the city, and it was an exquisite boutique hotel. The rooms, sheets, bed coverings, location etc. etc. were fantastic and each time we came out of the hotel someone was taking a photo of it.

Our meal that evening, was equally noteworthy. The restaurant was perched above the street, the atmosphere very Spanish, the food excellent, with us ordering paella again. The guests sitting across the aisle from us were from Victoria BC. In their 70's they were travelling by train each year. We very much enjoyed the evening in such a quaint town.
