DAY 14 Ronda and Olvera

Our second day in the White Hill Towns.  Ronda is a town laid out on either side of an incredible narrow, steep gorge.  The Romans and Moors built multiple bridges over the gorge.  I guess is was highly defensible, otherwise, why bother, just built your town somewhere else. But, we moderns get to enjoy the scenes and scenery.

Every town has multiple plazas, this one was great, covered with trees

Everywhere were acres and acres of sunflowers

Olvera is known for its Morrish Castle, and, for us, the narrowest streets we have driven on.  Shout out to Tom.  On one street we had to fold in the side view mirrors to get through a tight spot.  A lot of energy in the car.  I took photos, they don’t do it justice.

……A few odds and ends……..

Timing is everything….after a big breakfast and lots of coffee, you may have to pay to use the bathroom in town.  This guy gave receipts!  Tax deductible?

This sign was at the top of an isolated castle wall.  Cheaper then security cameras, I guess

Finally, we are getting really tired of “selfie sticks”.  They are everywhere.
