Ronda, Spain

On our trip to Spain, we took a day trip to Ronda with our rented car.  It was a beautiful drive through some national parks/forests, and we saw lots of olive and cork groves, plus even a chameleon crossing the road!!  I was so excited.  I used to see chameleons in the pine forests in Spain by my house.

Ronda is beautiful and historic.  We walked the tiny streets, got churros gordos con chocolate, visited the bullring, saw the bridge/gorge from above and below, strolled the gardens, and experienced a flamenco show, with tapas.  It was a great day.  The horse and carriage above was parked by the gardens near the bullring.  I recommend the Flamenco show.  It was at El Quinque.  I think it was 12 Euros a person and included a drink.  We ordered tapas on top of that.  No pics of food yet- I'm saving all the Spanish food pics for a seperate post.

We stopped for this view of Arcos on the way home.  We had planned on visiting it too, but were way too tired. Below, gorgeous wildflowers we saw on the drive home.  Spain the in the Spring is just gorgeous.
