Our final full day of our trip we explored Ronda in more depth as we had been here before a year earlier but only for 4 or 5 hours. We found some more interesting, historical tidbits and I even had a lone evening discovery walk.

A view from the lower terrace of the gardens at Casa del Rey Moro.

A view of río Guadalevín towards Puente Nuevo from the gardens.

The beginning of the descent into la mina de aqua. It was the reason behind the fall of the Nasrid kingdom in 1485.

The Armory and the Hall of Secrets is just below although that all that fascinating to look at.

This is the wall running along the location of a water wheel where Christian slaves carried water to the surface for the city.

Here is the bottom at the dock. This mine is considered one of the best preserved in Spain.

The palace (under renovation currently) of Casa del Rey Moro from across the canyon at the Jardines de Cuenca.

Looking down the canyon towards Puente Viejo from the jardines as the sun begins to set.

Looking towards the Puente Viejo (16th century) from Puente Romano.

Looking ahead towards the Murallas de Ronda from Puente Viejo.

As I walk the setting sun is highlighting the Santuario de María Auxiliadora.

Getting a different perspective from a tower on the Murallas de la Cijara.

The puerta to the Murallas de la Cijara.

Capturing a view of the El Tajo canyon with the Puente Nuevo (18th century) from a trail you can take down from the old city.

A view of the Puente Nuevo from the opposite side from the Jardines de Cuenca.

The same view in the evening of the Puente Nuevo.
