Took a little day trip to Ronda
It was a quick 1.5 hour bus ride through some beautiful, mountainous Spain. Ronda is where bull fighting first started in Spain. That's pretty neat! It's a small city with some incredible views and quaint streets, but it may be best known for Puente Nuevo... this incredible bridge:
Got to trek down into the valley and see this beaut from some places that Robert Frost would have been proud of. We spent most of the day in Ronda ditching the map, getting lost and seeing what we found.
Perhaps the most exciting find of the day was a restaurant where we stopped for café con leche & a little dessert... it had a FIREPLACE! A fireplace. Sounds common, but man, that was the first one I've seen in month. Since residences and many businesses don't have central air in Spain, it gets very chilly indoors over here, so having a real live fire to defrost our popsicle fingers was really just wonderful.
Fun fact: Spain is the second most mountainous country in Europe. Glad I got to see some mountains in Ronda & I'm looking forward to many more! Overall, a great day outside of Sevilla.
