If any body is planning to go to Ronda in Andalucia at the begining of October try and book a place on the 5 rythm dance course organised by suromaholidays.net I was lucky enough to be in Ronda, Andalucia for the last course, and it was amazing, a weekend of dancing and releasing your emotions, after the weekend i felt so much lighter and invigorated. ready to continue my travels. Before this i had been travelling around Spain for 2 months, kinda semi enjoying it, I am not used to travelling alone, but now i feel more open to meeting [View Full Entry]

Drove up into the mountains for the day. This town supposedly represents a more traditional Andalucian way of life. We tried to eat at a Tapas bar that is rated among the best in the country for such- but eveything in the village closed at 4, so we were forced to eat at McDonalds. A shame... [View Full Entry]

Here are some really great pictures from the mountain-top city of Ronda. Ronda is about an hour and a half bus ride from Málaga, up a mountain. It was really cold and windy there that day, and it started to rain a little bit too. So, all the pictures make me look a little miserable, but it is ok. The program has planned out 3 excursions for our time in Spain, and this was the first of the three. Only a day trip, but that was all that was necessary for this place. The other 2 excursions are to Sevilla for [View Full Entry]

March 8, 2008 Julie and I went to Ronda today. We had a very confusing start to the day because the bus we were supposed to take, and that we got on, ended up being the wrong bus. So about 5 minutes before we left, we switched buses. It was weird though because they were both the same company, and both had Ronda as their destination. We were so confused, but thankfully got on the right bus! The ride was about 2 ½ hours, and when we finally got there, we got a map and figured out where the Puente Nuevo [View Full Entry]

Yesterday my friends and I went to Ronda, Spain. The day started out with me packing up all of my things to move to my new (and permanent) apartment. My friend Willem and I then got on the bus (number 8, the favorite) to head towards the train. Our bus driver was obviously in Spain mode and decided he was going to take his time getting to the stop. When we finally got there, we had to run to the train station and got there 30 seconds late, just in time to see the train leave. We had 30 min before [View Full Entry]

Ronda is by far the prettiest city I've visted in Spain. It is settled between mountains and has a river running through the city forming a very deep gorge. Once ruled by the Romans and Moorish, Ronda has the most historic feel of any city I've been to. I actually walked in ruins that were built in the 300s! In Ronda we visted the Plaza de Toros, the oldest bull fighting ring in Spain, and baños árabes, or Arab baths. [View Full Entry]

Five years ago, a family journeyed from England to a hovel in Ronda in Andalucia in the south of Spain for Christmas. There they battled condensation, mould, a gas system constantly threatening the risks of an explosion and/or a cold water blast for anyone in the shower, temperatures low enough for indoor conversations to be conducted in a mist of steaming breath, and an oven seemingly operating on candle power, in order to celebrate the festive season. The venue was my sister C's house. It took me half a decade to summon up the necessary psychological strength to return again. There [View Full Entry]

I’m glad we got up early and managed to beat the hoards of fellow day trippers to Ronda. Obviously an incredibly popular place to visit and it’s not hard to see why. Ronda was everything I expected to see in Andalusia. The closer we got to Ronda, the more attractive the landscape became. The ranges of Serrania de Ronda were a welcome relief after miles and miles of sterile olive groves stretching as far as the eye could see. Ronda is a small town with an amazing location. It’s sits right on the edge of a 100m gorge called El Tajo. [View Full Entry]

Ronda to Granada today we woke up at 9AM, grabbed our breakfast at the guesthouse, and were dropped off at the bus station for our trip to Ronda! It worked out perfectly because we only needed a few hours to check out the water mines, the old moorish castle, as well as the fantasitc vistas from the Puento Nuevo bridge. Ronda is definitely worth seeing and it was nice to be able to move on and catch the train for our 8PM arrival in Granada. We are here now in the Oasis hostel in the Albaicin of the city, getting ready [View Full Entry]

Que pasa amigos?? Well I have started another week here in Malaga and it has been crazy today with placement tests and interviews....muy dificil, pero está bien! This weekend was a ton of fun. We took a day trip to Ronda, (where exactly it is I am not entirely sure in relation to Malaga) and honestly, when we first got there I was kind of like hmmm, what are we here for? It just didn't look like anything more than a little Spanish town. However, my question was soon answered when we were taken to this point so that we could [View Full Entry]
