Ronda 6 March 2022

Drove from Cabopino near Marbella to Ronda. A great drive along a road that snaked up the mountain, climbing from sea level to over 1000 metres. What a great road for a motorcycle! We saw many motorcycles travelling down the mountain and at the top we understood why – the equivalent of the ACE cafe!

The drive was also memorable in that we could see Gibraltar in the distance.

Very impressed with the El Sur campsite just outside Ronda. Arrived without a booking but no problem finding a spot.

Cycled into Ronda to view the famous bridge. This included descending 200 metres in altitude on a cobbled, very steep lane and, unfortunately, having to climb the same lane on the way back,

Gibraltar in the distance.
