Spain – Ronda and Costa del Sol

We stopped in the very unique city of Ronda for a few hours and had lots of free time to explore the city. We walked to an overview of the city, walked to a church, a bullring and a few other places. We really enjoyed this city. There is one spot that was used during an episode of the Amazing Race TV show, see the video here , they had to tightrope walk from one side to the other.

  • Clint down near the bottom of the gully
  • Amazing how they built this and this was the spot Amazing Race was filmed
  • We were standing on a bridge and looking across and down
  • View from the Look Out
  • Main street
  • Side street
  • Church
  • Inside the church
  • Look a McDonalds, can’t we go anywhere and get away from fast food?

I did not want to go to the Bullring but there is a lot of history and they don’t do the Bulls/Matador stuff here anymore so we did get tickets to go in and do a tour.

  • Entrance
  • Poor Bulls
  • This is where they used to run the Bulls through to get to the Ring
  • Pano shot of the Bullring
  • Bullring
  • Seating
  • Interesting
  • They had a museum there as well and this was a display of some of the costumes worn
  • Caged in Bull for decorative purposes only

We left Ronda and headed to Costa del Sol, right on the water and very pretty town situated on the Mediterranean Sea.

  • Great place for a holiday
  • Beautiful beaches
  • Town Centre
  • Cute little seaside bar we found

Next stop………Granada!

    1. Wow! This city is very beautiful, I love the church and the many lovely old buildings and architecture. I’m glad that these people no longer do the bullfight thing. I think it’s cruel is is men riding bulls here in the states. The beach looks fantastic and very inviting! Thanks for sharing this beauty, guys!

      1. thanks John ! I am glad about the bull fighting too. I didn’t even want to go because I thought they still did it but they do not. It was interesting history but I agree with you about bullfights and bull riding.

    3. That bullring tour was impressive. I went to the bullring in Madrid and didn’t want to watch a bullfight and told my friends this. We had a fight that afternoon, so I got a few shots in the ring beforehand – this place looks much bigger. I see a monument, probably to the bullfighters that lost their lives in the ring? In Madrid, they had a little chapel where the bullfighters go to pray before the fight. That church was beautiful – all their churches were you have showed us and that I saw … the detail is amazing. I like the cobblestone streets in each of these cities. I was also in Costa del Sol and yes a beautiful place to vacation with the beaches and clear water (at least it was back in ’74 when I was there).
