I thought I saw olive groves in the background. A bit of reading found that they make chocolate there. Orson Wells and Ernest Hemingway spent time there. In fact, a fictional scene from "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is taken from an event he saw in Ronda during the Spanish Civil War. The place goes back to the Neolithic period. Did you find the caves with ancient carvings?
I think it's hilarious that you two saw the hole in the fence (excuse me *gate*) and decided it was an invitation. 😅
It was hard work getting up there so we weren’t easily deterred 😊

We missed the caves but now we have even more reason to go back
Favorite restaurants in Ronda? Thank you!
Hi. Was this trip recent? Trying to find out if the trail is still closed? Thanks.
We were there January 29th. I can’t say if the trail is still closed. It wasn’t apparent why since the path was clear and in good condition.
