On Friday, I had the opportunity to go with my program on a day trip to the historic towns of Ronda and Arcos de la Frontera. Chelsea and I almost didn’t get to go as we got severely lost on our way to meet the group to go, but only a half hour late, we made it just in time.
Ronda
Ronda had some amazing scenic views, with the Puente Nuevo bridge spanning the canyon of the river Guadalevín. The town itself is very old, with its origins dating back to the Neolithic age. We got the opportunity to see the Plaza de Toros de Ronda, the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain. Afterword, we walked around the city and visited a lot of really cute shops.
Arcos de la Frontera
Arcos is another historic city, with evidence of Stone-age cave dwellings and Roman ruins. We toured the historic district of the town, high at the top of the city. The main attraction was the Gothic cathedral that was constructed by Alfonso the Wise and also the Castillo de Arcos, a 15th century castle.
