Ronda – the gorgeous town in Spain that bears my name, is an enchanting town with a population of around 35,000. Both Ernest Hemingway and Orson Wells spent many a season in the town and For Whom the Bell Tolls is, supposedly, set partially in this town. Famous for both it’s historic bullfighting ring and the bridges spanning the deep gorge, it’s an excellent spot to spend several lazy afternoons in the town square. The Puente Nuevo (the new bridge) was, ironically, completed in 1793, is not exactly new, but it one of my favorite views in town.
What a lovely picture. And I seem to remember another picture taken that same day of Rhonda standing in front of a little shop called “Rhonda.” what a great time we had there – even though I bought pink sparkly shoes and Jim told me they were men’s….. I’m still wearing them, men’s or women’s it doesn’t matter – they’re cute and they fit.
Hi mom, yes, Ronda was a good time. Thanks for the great lunch today!
