We did not stay very long. We moved forward to Ronda. Ronda was a blessing. a hidden gem that we could only enjoy for a night and a walk in the morning. We were also blessed with a fine hotel that had a rooftop pool and restaurant that overlooked the oldest bullring in Spain.
We had dinner at ____________ with a terrace that overlooked the fajo. Fado? No se.
I haven't really discussed Spanish cuisine... I am not really impressed. I do not really like it. We had pork cheeks, plate of meats, chicharon, jamon iberico, queso manchego, sangria, cerveza Alhambra verde y san cruz. Piononos muy dulce pero dame helado por favor. On the terrace we witnessed the sunset. Sarah and I briefly wandered through the streets after dinner and discovered both the New Bridge and the Old Bridge.
The hotel room shower was a dream with a ceiling shower ad a shower head that could be used at the same time. Our baggage had to be ready for travel the next day. We woke up early to go on another walking tour. Another local guide took us on an hour long walk around the neighborhood. "Look it", "look at", "Look"- doorways, crests, flowerpots, coat-of-arms. She really wanted us to look and appreciate all the details of the old homes. Eventually she guided us back to the bull ring where we saw the museum of bull fighting in Ronda. September is the one time that the space is used for bullfighting. Otherwise, it is used for performance - plays and music. We were left with an hour or so for food and shopping before heading to Tarifa to take the ferry to Tangier that night. I remembered to buy bullfighting art for my brother and bought him a print from a studio. Lunch was a double scoop of ice cream. Ale Hope was a fun spanish shop that was invaded by a group of kids so I could not buy the fan that inspired me. We also wandered into a fun toy shop.
Ronda required more time for street and trail explorations. All the bus travel put me in a foul mood. I felt sinus pressure and a cold coming on. I was tired. There was more travel ahead.
