    Join a guided tour of Spain and Portugal. This small group tour for 25 people includes five nights at a Five Diamond hotel, direct flights from Air China, six special meals, and Wi-Fi. [The following appears unrelated and likely a separate topic:] Flamenco show, vintage carriage ride, high-speed AVE train, and entrance to seven major attractions: Sagrada Familia, Alhambra, Park Güell, Madrid Royal Palace, and Seville Cathedral. On the morning of Day 4, we'll depart from Granada for Ronda, where our guide will lead us through Ronda's old town. We'll pass the Cathedral of Santa María, a ham shop, and the Ronda Bullring before reaching the Ronda New Bridge. Then, we'll visit the Ronda Terraced Gardens, one of the Ronda viewpoints, to see the Ronda Old Bridge. We'll then have free time to explore the El Tajo Gorge, Ronda Bullring, and the Tajo Tree-lined Promenade. Ronda Bullring is Spain's oldest bullring and a beloved pilgrimage site for bullfighters. Built in 1785, the bullring has hosted Spain's most famous bullfight, the Goya Bullfight, every first weekend of September since 1954. The circular structure, with stone-paved stands, can accommodate over 5,000 spectators. It was at the Plaza de Toros in Ronda that bullfighting evolved from a purely aristocratic activity into a national spectacle. Renowned matadors like Pedro Fomero have battled fierce bulls in this arena.

    游侠半仙游侠半仙

    Join a guided tour of Spain and Portugal. This small group tour for 25 guests includes all-inclusive packages: five nights in a five-diamond hotel, direct flights with Air China, and six special meals. Wi-Fi is included, along with a Flamenco show, a vintage carriage tour, a high-speed AVE train, and admission to seven major attractions: the Sagrada Familia, the Alhambra, Park Güell, the Royal Palace of Madrid, and the Seville Cathedral. On the morning of Day 4, depart Granada for Ronda. A guided walk takes you to the Ronda Bridge, a landmark structure and the newest and largest of the three stone arch bridges spanning the Tajo Gorge. Completed in 1793, the bridge is constructed entirely of stone, its slabs honed by age to a smooth, agate-like finish. Whether standing on the bridge and gazing out over the sweeping Sierra Ronda mountains, the steep, deep gorge, or gazing up at the majestic bridge from the hillside below, you'll experience a profound awe and a sense of enlightenment.

    If you visit Spain, you will definitely go to Ronda. Longda, a cliff town, famous for Longda New Bridge, white buildings and bullfighting culture, is known as the "most suitable city for eloping". The steep El Tahoe Canyon, the white building on the top of the canyon, and the Longda New Bridge standing on the cliff. Combined into a moving and magnificent picture.

Our guide will lead us to the Ronda New Bridge, then to the Ronda Terraced Gardens, one of the Ronda viewpoints, to see the Ronda Old Bridge. Ronda, a small city dating back to the Roman Empire and the birthplace of bullfighting, is located in the heart of Andalusia, Spain. Its scenic beauty and vibrant atmosphere earned Hemingway the nickname "the perfect place for elopement." Divided by the Tejas River, Ronda is the Old Town and the New Town. The Old Town, perched atop a cliff, offers a breathtaking view. Ronda boasts a mild climate and often sunny days. The best times to visit are between May and September. During the Romero Festival in early September, numerous bullfights are held, offering a glimpse into the locals' passion and bravery. Most of Ronda's attractions are concentrated in the old town, with notable ones including the world's oldest bullring and the 14th-century Islamic Palace, the residence of the Moorish king Apomelico.

    The castle was actually a military fortress. Of course, it has now become a tourist attraction. Compared with the open-air theater, I think it is slightly less impressive, but the Mediterranean style and Mediterranean beauty here are still quite good.

    The castle is very beautiful. Although it has been renovated, it is still very simple. The very slow pace of life and the strong Mediterranean style make people just want to stop and appreciate this romantic Mediterranean scenery.
