Wednesday 24th February
This is the very clean modern train that we took from San Roque to Ronda.

 

The train journey is known for the lovely countryside through which it passes.

This is the stunning view from the Plaza de Toros in Ronda.

The very deep gorge of the Rio Guadalevin separates the new town from the old.

This is The New Bridge, Puente Nuevo, which was built in 1787 to join up the two parts of the town.

This the vertigo-inducing view from the centre of the bridge.

Higher up the gorge you can just see the old bridge.

We walked into the beautiful and well kept old town to visit the Ronda Museum which is in the Palacio de Mondragon.

Not far away is the Colegiata Santa Maria la Mayor (Saint Mary the Major Collegiate Church) which has been declared a national monument.

The interior is absolutely stunning.

As we walked back we passed through many lovely streets and plazas.

On the return train journey we again enjoyed the varied views of the Andalucian landscape.

Near our destination of San Roque we saw many storks nesting on pylons.

In the early evening we crossed back into Gibraltar.
