Description
Andalusian Alley in Ronda, Spain.
One of the many typical Andalusian white and narrow alleys of Muslim origin. This maze of narrow streets, away from the more touristic areas, is used by the neighbors as private patios, as the chair, the table and the ashtray show.
The old city was built atop a vertical promontory that has been inhabited since before the Iron Age. Iberians, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims and Christians have occupied the place and extended the city westwards across the gorge by means of bridges, the latest of which spans the gorge at a height of 360 feet.
American artists Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles spent many summers in Ronda. Both wrote about Ronda's beauty and famous bullfighting traditions. Their accounts contributed to Ronda's popularity.
