Ronda
Our overnight trip to Ronda was fabulous! We all had fun walking through the cobblestone streets and enjoying the breathtaking views from the famous Puente Nuevo (new bridge) that is actually over 200 years old today. Travis, Grover and Ethan hiked down one side of the bridge to get a great view facing the bridge and to tour some Morrish ruins. The next day they added Camryn to hike down the other side to the water mine, river and a Moorish King's house, Casa del Rey Moro.




Joni, and I took Camryn, Ethan and Sylvia into the Ronda bull ring. This bullring is claimed to be the oldest in Spain. It was immaculately clean and beautiful. We also toured the museum to learn about the history of modern bullfighting.
We had plenty of time to relax at our hotel and spend the hot afternoon at the pool. The kids loved it and my pregnant belly felt weightless in the cool water. We ate a poolside picnic lunch and played cards too. We could have made this a day trip but by extending our time into two days, we all felt pampered and relaxed within this Spanish village.

Wow! It all looks amazing. The streets, the pool, the whole environment is calling my name.
I hear it too "...Amy, come to Spain and see the sights with your sister...come Amy..."
