When in Ronda, go the bridge. We were like kids in a candy store here, and we could not decide what to do first. Gibraltar beckoned with its lovely monkeys and incredible scenery. the desk at the Luxury Hotels Marbella bureau gave us a hundred ideas of what to see and they flew at us like rapid fire confetti. We decided on Rondo because we had never heard of it, it sounded off the beaten path, plus it is a half hour from Cueva de Pileta cave, with its 20,00 year old cave paintings. We are suckers for caves, so to speak, and we go out of our way to be in the Earth’s bosom, and watch for bats. Some say we have bats in the belfry. This may be so. We drove to Ronda and crossed the famous bridges. and you can check out the old Arab quarter and a bull ring made entirely of stone. In fact Plaza de Toros is the nexus of the the town, the place to navigate from, and you can spend all day checking out the landscape of Andalusia. But on to the caves. It seems a local farmer around 1900 thought the chambers he discovered were just some strange markings, but a British Colonel named Willoughby Verner investigated and dicovered the incredible cave paintings dating back to Paleolithic era, with actual paintings and pottery artifacts found in the walls of the caves. the tours are quite informal, as the family of the original farmer conducts tours as people show up, and there is no set times. It is a lovely wait if you miss a tour, and a flashlight is highly recommended. A steep set of stairs leads to the caves. make sure to wear good shoes for hiking around this amazing display.
