Proclaimed as one of the Pueblo Blancos de España, or Spain's white villages, Ronda with all its captivating charm stands with pride as an impressive historical ruin town. With an incredibly spectacular scenic spot split in the center by a deep gorge, it lords over a slice of the southern part of the country.

Situated some 100 kilometers from Malaga, the seaside playground of the rich and famous, it is a favorite getaway of families and friends for its sheer beauty and relaxing tranquility. Traversed by the majestic Guadalquivir River with the nearby Sierra de las Nieves National Park, it is an ideal site for those who wish to engage with the best of nature, while relishing the laid-back hamlet.

With these five scenes as our agenda, we took a series of paseos between pintxos y sangrias, mas picas y vinos. Olé!

Satisfy curiosity: Plaza del Toros

Home to one of the oldest stone bullrings in all of Spain, Ronda provides a glimpse of the old sport — an entertainment in the olden days. This solid arena played host to the dangerous and often bloody bullfights, which even piqued the interest of literary greats such as Ernest Hemingway.

We likewise entered the Bullfighting Museum with their expansive display of anything and everything we wanted to know about bullfights, toros, toreros and bullrings. We even heard whispers about the Real Maestranza De Caballería, touted to be the oldest order of horsemanship in the world. Challenge yourself — how many stone sculptures of toros can you find throughout the suburb?
