• Houses viewed through the arch of the "New Bridge"
  • The beautiful Parador Hotel with wonderful views!!
  • The Hanging Houses of Ronda

Spectacular town of Ronda, Southern Spain (Best viewed large)

View of Ronda with the XVIIIth. Century "New Bridge" - Puente Nuevo and the Tajo Gorge, 150 metres down into the Guadalevin River.
The Parador Hotel on the left and the Hanging Houses of the Tajo on the right.
Perched upon a colossal rock, the sheer walls of the Tajo gorge dropping almost 200 metres down to the river and the lush valley below, encircled by mountains. The sight is like a mirage, breathtakingly beautiful to the point of being almost surreal.

    Looks a bit "Downhill -y" - I'm kinda half expecting The Belfast- Derry/Londonderry train to come through one of those tunnels at any minute !

    A memory of mine, too...I remember being told that during the Spanish Civil War, priests and nuns were tossed off those cliffs.

    Thank You for sharing your memory !!!
