Friday, November 1, 2019 Ronda
I couldn't wait to get out and walk around the beautiful town of Ronda, after we arrived and checked into our parador. It was evening, and the lighting kept changing, from blue to golden to pink and grey as the sun was setting and evening storm clouds blew in.

| Looking down the gorge from the Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) with our parador on the right |
 |
| El Tajo Gorge |
 |
| Ronda Parador and belvedere at the top of the gorge |
 |
| The Guadalevin River, flowing through the bottom of the gorge |
 |
| Late afternoon sunlight turning the colors golden |
 |
| Waterhouse at the bottom of El Tajo, next to the Guadalevin River |
 |
| Setting sun breaks through the clouds and lights up the cliff and bridge |
 |
| The Puente Nuevo is not new - construction started in 1759 |
 |
| The trail to descend the 500 feet to the gorge floor and river bed |
 |
| Parador on a cliff |
 |
| The room atop the center arch was used as a prison in past times |
 |
| View of the bridge from the east side of the gorge |
 |
| Looking east in the gorge carved by the Guadalevin River |
 |
| Gorge east of the Puente Nuevo |
 |
| Mirador and park overlooking the valley |
 |
| Thunderhead looming over the town of Ronda |
 |
| Colors changing rapidly at sunset |
 |
| Peach and grey clouds, heavy with rain to come later in the night |
 |
| Last of the colors - pastel pinks and baby blues |
