Has anyone been to or heard of the city Ronda? I'm visiting Spain this summer and had heard about it. Muchas Gracias!

Ronda is in Andalucia. Its pretty far south. Its a really cute town though. Its on a cliff. They have an awesome bullring too. Its really small though, I wouldn't recommend spending more than a day there. I went for the day when I was in Sevilla, and it was plenty of time to look around.

I think Ronda is a lovely town. I would like to spend some more time discovering it. Most tourists come at midday and leave at 5 after hitting the most impressive bullring. This is where Hemingway learnt bullfighting.
But if you can spend 2 or 3 days you would find it very worthwhile. The countryside around in the Spring is beautiful. I did a single page on my simple website www.spaincostaluz.com/ronda.htm
I had not realised before visiting, that there is a railway running up from Algeciras, through the hills to Bobadilla and Granada. So if you are an independent traveller who doesn't like driving, examine this route? Bobadilla is a grand station in the middle of farmland. Not too far from Antequera. It is where you change trains for other destinations like Malaga and Seville. Look at the www.renfe.es timetables and this is the rail map for ANDALUCIA http://www.renfe.es/ingles/empresa/regionales/mapa_andalucia.html
Actually the rail link was built by British rail engineers around the turn of the last century - they also built a hotel on the 'precipice' called REINA VICTORIA (1909) which is very popular (especially with tours). Great views from some of the hotel room balconies. The officers and their ladies stationed in Gibraltar would take the ferry to Algeciras and then the train up to Ronda and enjoy the scenery. Going any other way would be acute discomfort.
There are some choices of places to stay including the Parador situated next to the 'New bridge' and the famous gorge. And just around the corner is a Macdonalds.

Irene, my folks and I visited Ronda at the end of March. It was beautiful, but rained a lot while we were there, which was unusual for being so late in the year. We splurged and stayed in the parador, with a balcony that overloked the Punte Nuevo. As Nige said, the surrounding countryside was beautiful. We just had one night, but could have made it into two.
