Ronda

Christmas day, we decided to drive up to the mountains to a town called Ronda. Ronda is spread out on either side of a huge 360 foot gorge. A beautiful stone bridge spans the gap between the two sides of town. It was definitely worth the twisty turny (and sometimes nauseating) drive through the mountains. Sorry for the lack of people in the pictures, the scenery was just beautiful.

Nearing the top of the mountains, almost in the clouds.










One of our many 'breathers' on the way up. We had to get out and get some fresh air.



Very narrow streets.



The old bridge, not nearly as impressive as the new bridge. Although it's not very new by American standards - built in the 1700's.



The ancient Moorish bridge.



Ancient Moorish baths.



The long-arm shot.



The 'new' bridge.





Part of the old wall.



We stood on that point!
