Ronda 7 March 2022: Bridges & Bullfighters

Cycled into Ronda to view the town’s bridges and the bullfighting stadium.

There were a selection of bridges: The New Bridge; the Old Bridge and the Even Older Bridge. All of these are built from the local stone. The later bridges being much higher than their predecessors.

We had a tour of the bullfighting stadium. The main events take place in September each year so there were no bulls in residence.

The benches do not look very comfortable.
The stadium also houses an extensive bullfighting museum.
