On Saturday our program took it’s last group trip to Ronda. It’s a super cute pueblo blanco set on either side of a cliff/canyon. We got to see the Plaza de Toros, which is oldest and the second biggest (ie: second most dangerous) in Spain.
Plaza de Toros
Our tour guide told us a bit about how the town is divided. The bridge that crosses the canyon in called Puente Nuevo and this bridge divides the town into the old half and the new half. The “modern” half is anything built after 1500. I guess “modern” is relative.
Group Pic!
We visited the house of Juan Bosco, the founder of some Catholic order, and had some pretty spectacular views of the bridge/town.
After a really nice lunch, we had the afternoon to explore. I went with a bunch of people in my program on a mini hike down into the canyon and got a cool new perspective on the town and the bridge. Ronda was definitely one of the cutest Spanish towns I’ve been to yet!
On top of the world!
