We parked the car in the underground car park at the top of Calle Espinel, also known as "La Bola", and walked down the main shopping street to the bullring at the bottom, turning towards the Puente Nueva (New Bridge) that spans the famous Tajo gorge.
Anne took the opportunity to do a little shopping at her favourite craft shop. Another pretty painted plate is going on the wall at home by the looks of it!.
The views from the bridge. We decided to visit the 14th century moorish Water Mine in the House of the Moorish King that overlooks the gorge and is pictured here on the right hand side of the photo.

We really enjoyed our brief trip to Ronda. Funny, but we visited friends in Wisconsin (just before we moved to Florida), and they were showing us around their home. In their game room, they have a framed poster from the Ronda bullring. Small world! We're eager to return to Olvera, and we will as soon as possible, but my new job has me traveling extensively. Look for us in 2011!
Nice pics, Alan!
I used to visit Ronda several times per month. Actually my uncle and my aunt are still living there. No doubts... one of my favourite places in Andalucía, although it´s a little town there are lots of funny things to do over there.
By the way! I´m already back in Olvera! I came back from Estonia last week. Hope to see you and your wife! Olvera is a village :P
Greetings!
