Being a good hours drive away, up in the hills, we decided to go in the van. Worse case scenario, we can stay on the camp site up there. I'd rather not if we can avoid it because it means paying for for two sites or risk losing the pitch that we are on now. Besides, at this time of year, it's not the warmest place to be, 2,425 feet uphill!
The drive up is reasonably pleasant, pootling along windy roads, ever upward. We saw plenty of 'bikers' too who are clearly drawn to the roads, thrill seekers that they are!
Ronda was established in the 9th century and, believe me, it's a glorious place to visit. The views are absolutely stunning and the whole village has a very relaxed feel to it.
Most people, once they've seen the old bridge, taken in the views, and browsed the shops, will end up in the main square, as did we. Restaurants spill out into the square and competition for your euros is keen, as are the prices.
As for the van, well we got lucky with parking and went in to a 'Pay & display' car park. We just squeezed in to a spot in front of the church but, I really don't recommend that you try to get too close if you are in a motorhome.
We also learned something else that day and, in all honestly, it's something that we should have been doing more of. Research. Wherever you visit, or stay, get on the old Interweb and find out what's worth visiting, or doing, nearby.
