Ronda & Malaga

This past weekend I traveled with my program to the Spanish cities, Ronda and Malaga. We first stopped in Malaga and saw the famous bridge connecting the two sides of the city, toured the Ernest Hemmingway gardens overlooking the Spanish countryside and saw the remains of an Arabic bathhouse. Ronda was small but quaint and beautiful, a great day trip complete with the first good pizza I have had in Spain! That night and all Sunday we spent in Malaga. Malaga is double the size of Granada and is situated on the Costa del Sol of Spain, right across from Morocco. While in Malaga we toured the Alcazaba, an old Moorish fortress that housed the palace of the governors back in the day. And right outside this fortress sits an old roman theater that is currently being restored to its former glory. Luckily after the tours we had some free time to go and sit by the sea and enjoy a nice lunch and drinks. All in all it was a great weekend and the last of my six consecutive weekends of travel. Now time for a week of studying and rest before we head to Morocco on the 28th!
