Hemingway said this was the perfect place to elope!

In his novel "Death in the Afternoon", Hemingway wrote: "Looking for a romantic honeymoon or elope with loved ones, Ronda (Ronda) is definitely the ideal place to go, the whole city is filled with romantic scenery. The white town on the cliff, follow the cliff can connect the old and new city Nuaibo bridge, under the bridge is a hundred meters deep canyon, not long bridge connects the city on both sides of the cliff, so it is also known as the city of clouds.

Ronda is a small town in Andaria, Spain, standing on a cliff hundreds of meters above sea level, giving people a sense of the magnificent city in the sky. Because of its secluded location, it is called Elopement Town, and I personally think it is more appropriate to call it Honeymoon Town (although I went with my sister, but romance is not discounted).

Although I did not have particularly great expectations for the Palace of Moore, (unlike the palace, but like the manor of Moore), I was really shocked by the underground mine, the shock point is that I did not expect to come out of the dark hole, the eyes of the blue water and blue sky, towering cliffs! Who knows? Who knows? What pops out of my mind is the Peach Blossom Source!

This time I had the luxury of tasting Michelin restaurant Tragata. I felt that I tasted a lot of fresh food in this tapas, and the taste without stepping on thunder was very good! It's that cantaloupe dessert that's a little hard to take!

As the birthplace of the art of bullfighting, the Ronda Royal Club Bullring is one of the oldest, with the largest bullring in the world, more than 60 meters in diameter (explained), and the first bullring built of stone, with more than 4,500 seats.

Because I was really curious, I learned a little about bullfighting culture: only cows over the age of four are called bulls. There are eight cows in the corral for fighting, two of which are in reserve. Cattle are highly screened for pedigree, posture and strength.

The regulation and process of bullfighting is also very strict, divided into three rounds:

1 Spear Round - The spearman rides and stings the bull to relieve its bleeding.

2 darts Round - The darter throws three pairs of darts at the cow.

3 Red Cloth Round - Before the fight, the matador holds a red cloth to entertain with the encouragement of the bullfighting song (the bullfighting cape actually weighs 5 kg!) .

The kill must be a single shot from the hollow of the bull's shoulder blade. In short, the bulls that enter the ring are almost certain to die, to be dragged aside by horses and to be eaten later... Ronda bullring heard that although several matadors were buried, only one matador died after being gored by a bull during the fight...

The bullring has a mysterious and magical power, and if you have more time you can look more closely... (Think of the first episode of grandma's favorite Korean drama is that the male master looked at the female master with a telescope at the bullfight and fainted, and since then began a love story this time to field survey).



The most outrageous thing came, I wanted to eat Spanish churros after watching the bullring, but it was only 5:30 in the afternoon, and all the shops were basically closed... This is a small town. Unprepared...

I don't know why I like Longda, maybe the bullring added a big day tour is basically enough, walk around to eat and pay attention to time.

Life tip: Make sure you stay one night in Ronda! There are a lot of cliff hotels in Ronda, and we stayed at the parador de Ronda, which is right next to the Pont Neuf. We were lucky enough to be assigned to the side view room, with two open balconies overlooking the valley, a Tuscan feel, the sunrise and sunset from here is really romantic! But the service attitude of this hotel is not very good... The overall service attitude in Spain is not very good.
