Ronda, Andalusia, Spain - virtual tour
Ronda is a mountaintop city in Spain’s Malaga province that’s set dramatically above a deep gorge. This gorge (El Tajo) separates the city’s circa-15th-century new town from its old town, dating to Moorish rule. Puente Nuevo, a stone bridge spanning the gorge, offers sweeping views. New town’s Plaza de Toros, a legendary 18th-century bullring, is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks.
Three bridges, Puente Romano, Puente Viejo and Puente Nuevo, span the canyon. The term nuevo is a bit of a misnomer, as the building of this bridge commenced in 1751 and took until 1793 to complete. The Puente Nuevo is the tallest of the bridges, towering 120 metres above the canyon floor, and all three serve as some of the city's most impressive features. The former town hall, which sits next to the Puente Nuevo, is the site of a parador, and has a view of the Tajo canyon.
The ‘Corrida Goyesca’ is a unique and historical bullfight that takes place once a year in Ronda in the Plaza de toros de Ronda, the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain. It was built in 1784 in the Neoclassical style by the architect José Martin de Aldehuela, who also designed the Puente Nuevo.
The partially intact Baños árabes are found below the city and date back to the 13th and 14th centuries.

Spain Trip 2017 #13 Grazalema
Grazalema is another of Spain’s Pueblos Blancos, with charming plazas, white-washed houses, and 17th c. churches. After the Moors introduced sheep to the area, a cottage industry of woolen textile makers sprung up, one of which is still in operation with some of their old 19th c. equipment on display.

Ronda, Spain - Secret Moorish Water Mine Shaft underneath Palacio del Rey Moro
Building began during the Middle Ages, in the early 1300's, to protect water supplies to the people and defenders of Ronda, Spain. Ronda was, at this time, an independent Islamic kingdom fighting the Christian forces.
The building of the mine ensured that the people of Ronda would have a protected water supply. The steps leading down to the Río Guadalevín were carved into the rock of the El Tajo Gorge. There are 231 steps; to enter the mine, one must go first through the gardens of the palace. The last 30 meters of the steps are enclosed by a strong fortress. The only way to get back to the top is to return by climbing the same stairs.
The water would be hauled up by people (slaves) forming a chain to manually pass the full containers of water to the top.
I did the still photos, selected the music, edited it all to upload to You Tube. Ed did the camcorder filming and narration you hear.
