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 &#8211; the equivalent of the ACE cafe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drive was also memorable in that we could see Gibraltar in the distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very impressed with the El Sur campsite just outside Ronda. Arrived without a booking but no problem finding a spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
