Ronda
Ronda is located in Málaga and is one of Spain’s oldest towns. It was settled by Celts in the sixth century BC, and later inhabited by the Romans and Moors, although the latter were driven out in 1570.
During the 19th century it was a popular stop on the Grand Tour of Europe beloved of the romantic travellers (viajeros romanticos) and has also inspired artists and writers such as Orson Welles and Ernest Hemingway.
Latterly it was the scene of a lot of fighting during the Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939.
We stopped through Ronda on the way back to Cádiz from a trip to Málaga. I just wish we had more time to explore.
