Day Trip to Ronda, Spain, my new favorite place in the world
Hey! So this past Thursday I went with four friends to this place about an hour away called Ronda. I wasn't really sure if I wanted to go, but the round-trip bus fare was 20 euro and I had nothing else going on so I decided to go, and I am SO glad that I did. On the bus ride we drove through a lot of Spain's country side. I was really surprised to see so many huge rolling green hills, it looked just like what you would imagine Ireland looking like. When we got to Ronda we went to some park because we heard that it was really cool. We got there and there was some grass then a huge cliff. The cliff over looked a huge gorge that had a little waterfall. Just beyond the cliff were more of the rolling green hills and behind those was a beautiful mountain range. The rolling green hills were full of trees that were blossoming and were covered in light pink flowers. It was the most beautiful thing I have seen in my entire life. Behind us there was a man playing Spanish guitar and there were birds chirping. The sun was shining (my face got SO tan that day!!) and it was the perfect temperature. We decided to be adventurous and climb into the gorge. There are really steep stairs that you can climb that bring you down pretty far but we decided to go off of the trail a bit and do some exploring. We found the waterfall and another nice little cliff to hang out on, the view was even more beautiful than before!! We explored for a few more hours and when we decided we couldn't walk anymore we climbed back up then went to find some lunch. I got some chicken meal and it came with a glass of some delicious sangria yum! We explored around some more then got the bus back to Sevilla around 6:00. Everyone fell asleep as soon as they got on the bus, it had been a very long day! I couldn't sleep but I'm glad that I didn't, after about an hour of driving I saw the most incredible sunset. The sun was enormous and bright pink setting over the rolling green hills.
Perfect day.
