We needed an Easter break so we went to the Andalusian Mountains of Spain. We stayed in accommodation not far away from Ronda. I was very impressed with this town so will tell you about my visit here . Ronda is inland from the Costa del Sol it takes about an hour to drive the113km from Malaga. Ronda is easily accessible by train from Algerciras or Granada and the stations in between. We were lucky and found a place to park the car in one of the streets but there is a car park by the bull ring and some other underground car parks too.
We drove to Ronda from the village we were staying in Ronda is a great viewpoint with views of mountains the most fantastic scenery. The narrow gorge, Tajo del Ronda, 150 meters deep runs through the town .The Guadalevin River runs along this gorge. There are three magnificent bridges to span the gorge. Parts of the old town walls still stand.
The town of Ronda is an old settlement from Celt times. The later Roman and Moorish architecture are most prominent. There are several museums many eating places and shops. There is a bull ring which is used in fiesta time. There is a museum in the bull ring we did not visit as I am not a lover of bull fighting. There is also an art gallery. After my husband and I mooched around the streets a bit we stopped for lunch ay a café (I can not remember the name of it sorry.) we had a good leisurely lunch. The people we met seemed very friendly. The town is an attractive town it feels friendly and the streets are quite spacious. Some of the buildings are painted white as is popular in this area of Spain
After lunch we went to the 14C Mondragon Palace in the old town. This palace has a museum in it. And is a great place to visit with its mosaics and inside patio gardens. This is really a prize architectural building. I shall write fully about this museum in a future review.
We only spent the day there I would be happy to go back and explore more of this town one day. If this review tempts you then these are several information sites about Ronda. A good site is http://www.andalucia.com/ronda/home.htm and http://www.turismoderonda.es/indexeng.htm.
A word of warning this town is in one of the wettest areas of Spain and has high rainfall. So do take your waterproofs or umbrella.

Advantages: Plenty to see and do around Jimena De La Frontera - not for kids though. Good roads Disadvantages: None that I can think of but maybe a lot depends on your accommodation
