Olé!

So I am in Olive country. Literally along our drive from Cordoba to Ronda the whole ride we were surrounded by fields of olives. Now, I really don’t like olives but I love olive oil and I would have like to have toured an olive oil factory!

Ronda is a town on top of a huge gorge. It is crazy how deep the ravine is! There are two main bridges that pass over the gorge. The old and the new; the new being from 1793, so not that new! I really like Ronda because it had a less tourist feel. There weren’t quite as many tourist shops as in Cordoba. There were many shops here that presented plates they were selling on the wall like this which I thought was neat.


Ronda is where modern bull fighting was invented. I got to see my first bull ring in Spain here and it is one of the most authentic too! It was really cool seeing the Plaza de Toros as it was called. I don’t think I could stomach watching a bull fight though! There were a few moment where I found a clear ring with no other visitors in it so I was able to get some good pictures! Their was a museum inside and after seeing pictures of matador I think I know a new field of design I would like to pursue! Hahaha
