Ronda is a town located near the Costa del Sol region of Spain. It is located in a mountainous region and offers incredible views. The highlights of any town in this region are the white houses, called pueblo blanco (meaning white village). The residents painted them white to keep the houses cooler during summer.
The Guadalevín river cuts the town of Ronda into half through a deep gorge called El Tajo. It divides the city into the old and new towns. The "new" side of Ronda developed only after a bridge was built across this gorge. This bridge called Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) was built in the late 18th century by Arabs.
Another highlight of our Ronda visit was the orange trees planted along the roads. It was our first time seeing orange trees and my kids loved the experience! We were even allowed to pick.. but the oranges were very sour!
One of our inspirations to visit Spain was the hindi movie, Zindagi na milegi dobara, which has a few scenes of Ronda, especially El Tajo.
