We had a lazy start to the day, having breakfast around 10:30am. Around midday we headed to Ronda, a historical southern Spanish town. Jamie drove us along the windy mountain roads.We got stuck behind a lorry and couldn’t overtake for ages.

On the way up we took a little rest break at a viewing point. Unfortunately it was pretty cloudy so the views weren’t that great. But it was a good opopportunity to relieve ourselves!

We arrived in Ronda and had a little wander through the main street.

We stopped at an Argentinian place to have some empanadas and beer, but they weren’t that great. And we sent the calamari back as it wasn’t actually squid that they served us.

Next stop was in another ham and wine shop.

And then we wandered down to the older part of the town, stopping on the way for a glass of tio pepe (white sherry).

Ronda is famous for its bullfighting and it has the oldest bullring in Spain, built in 1785. It is a neo-classical style, but we didn’t go inside.

During the 18th century, Fransisco Romero was the first matador to face the bull on foot rather than on horseback at this bullring.

We wandered round the edge of the El Tajo gorge.

There were a lot of ferral cats around, sleeping and eating in the sun. They seemed in really good condition but wouldn’t come up to you.

This is looking back to one of the platforms looking out over the gorge

These platforms are known locally as ‘Balcons Coños’ as they are scary to staand on.We then walked on to the Puente Neuve (new bridge). This was completed in 1793 after 40 years of constraction. 50 workers lost their lives in the building of the bridge which is 100m deep.

The bridge connects the older and newer parts of the town.

Ronda is one of the famous white towns of Andalusia.

On the way home we stopped at Aldi and Mercado to do a quick shop.

We had a delicious dinner before relaxing on the balcony with a drink or two.

Around 11pm we headed down to the port and sat by the boats as we drank our bottles.

We played some more table football (I lost again) and then partyed until around 7am.
