Day 15 - Ronda - 30 May

Off on a road trip to Ronda today.

Beautiful weather. Today is a public holiday in Seville and by all the police roadblocks we saw on the way out of town it looks like there will be a parade or festival.

The Nova bridge at Ronda.  Construction began in 1751 and it was completed in 1793 - 42 years! And I thought we were slow builders. Ronda was great and we found a quiet little plaza on the way to the walk down to get the much better view of the bridge and waterfall from below in the Tajo Gorge.

Lunch was wonderful tapas for most of us at Las Maravillas.

We stopped at a Moorish castle on the way back to Seville and took photos in one of the fields of acres and acres of sunflowers.  There were a few fields of Canola and Wheat but by far the majority were sunflowers.

Dinner over in the Santa Cruz near the Cathedral again.  This time at Mama's Bistro.
Very special meal of 13 hour spit roasted suckling pig.

10 km today.
