We spent most of the week – start of September 2018 with our friends Dave and Karen, travelling at the bottom end of Spain – we made a base just outside of Ronda (just over an hour Northwest of Marbella on extremely winding roads) and from there took a day-trip to Gibraltar.

Above, our hotel, a cute place complete with gardens and a pool, just minutes outside of Ronda.

For our first night out, after a long and interesting walk through the shopping area, we ate in Ronda itself, not much there to talk about as the cafe food there is mostly Spanish. On our second night we ate out of town, again nothing in the way of international cuisine but we had a good time anyway with plenty of variety, half-decent wine and most importantly, good company.

While at the superb main modern shopping area in Ronda we picked up new supplies of incense.

We then went on to have a 1-day excursion in Gibraltar – not new to us but for Dave and Karen a completely new adventure. After an early start and just under three hours later we arrived at our destination.

Below is a photo of Maureen and I at the top of the Rock in Gibraltar last week. The view shows Gibraltar then La Linea De La Concepcion (over the border, in Spain) in the distance.

Below, Morocco in view in the distance – from the cable car up the side of the Rock as we were on our way back down to sea level.
