Bull fighting

  • I didnt go into the bullring. It is the oldest bullring in Spain. In September they apparently have a bullfight where they dress in clothes from over 100 years ago.
    The bullring is open each day from 10am to 7pm. Charge is 5 euros.
    There is wheelchair access.
    Apparently the film director/actor Orson Welles loved this place and wanted his ashes scattered here, however they are not and are at an estate of a bull figher called Antonio Ordonez who was a close friend of his.

    Gazpacho
  • Tip Rating:
  • Gazpacho is a traditional Andalusian cold soup which is available in almost all local restaurants.

    Nowadays it mainly consists of fresh raw tomatoes, oil, garlic and salt. The history of the soup is probably as old as the Andalusian hills, but in the early times it wasn't made of tomatoes but of other raw vegetables.

    On a hot summer day the soup is really tasty and quenches your thirst.

    Due to the increasing number of tourists the beer consumption in Spain has more than doubled since 1980. One of the well known beer brands of Spain is San Miguel which roots are actually located in the Phillippines. The original brewery was founded by a Spaniard in Manila. What started as a brewery is nowadays Southeast Asia's largest food and beverage company.
    The San Miguel lager belongs to the most sold beers in the world and you will find its advertisments all over Spain.

    Spanish Open Doors
  • Tip Rating:
  • It seems to be a Spanish custom to open your doors in order that passers-by can peep in and see just how you live. We found this beautiful Spanish lounge whilst walking through the Calle Tenorio. The view was enchanting. On the opposite side of the Calle is a Convent, where for a fee of 2 Euros, you can enter, and look around. We decided not to do so.

    Doorway Coats of Arms

    Royal Insignia /Law Court/Off
    Pl. de Duquesa

    It seems that every aristocrat in Ronda (and there appear to have been many) emblazoned his doorway with his coat of arms. This merely mimiced the Royal Presence which was proclaimed on building walls as well as gates (and doors). Most of them are wrought ceramic clay and they are everywhere you look. I am not informed about heraldry but found the devices to be intriguing. I did not keep a record about where I saw most of them.

    One of the charming aspects of Ronda were all the informational historic signs that provided information, in several languages, for the tourist visiting that site. I discovered these signs at a number of the monuments and historic places that I visited in Ronda and found them very helpful to understand the context of what I was viewing and visiting.
