Day 56
These weekly malaria tablets are ace. Strange, crazy dreams that dust the cobwebs off memories in the darkest corners of the brain and give them a cheeky twist. You wake in the morning very disorientated as I did this morning!
Today we visited Ronda, an hour inland through some of the most beautiful landscape I think I've seen in Spain. Old towns wedged into the sides of cliffs and roads winding up and around hills en route.
Ronda itself was stunning. Whilst you are advised not to walk around the old towns in the high summer months because of the heat. It´s what the Brits do best : ) And it was well worth it. Set on a huge gorge, that in itself was a good enough drawcard but the town is full of character - beautiful old buildings including the oldest bullring in Spain(and therefore I presume the world), amazing plazas and old slopped cobbled streets.
The restaurants are pretty special too. We went to a place just outside the city walls and ordered three lunch dishes - a goats cheese salad with apple, walnut and mango puree, a duck pate with caramelised goats cheese as well as the restaurant´s trademark which was ox with olive oil, garlic and parmasan.
