This morning we drove from Arcos de la Frontera to Ronda, the most famous of the white towns of Andalucia. We are staying at the Parador de Ronda, where we had reserved a room with a view and a terrace. We were rewarded with a terrace that has a spectacular view of the deep gorge which the hotel borders.
Paradors are luxury (4 star) hotels run by the Spanish government. Frequently they are restored Castles, monasteries fortresses etc. The Parador in Ronda , while not historic, is at the most ideal location in the town. The town is situated on top of a hill which is split by a very deep gorge . There is a bridge that connects the two parts of the town across the gorge and the Parador sits right next to the bridge and the gorge. Most pictures of Ronda show the gorge and the Parador.
