Gibraltar is only 2.6 square miles and the landscape is dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar which is home to 33 000 Gibraltarians. The Brits still rule it and you need a passport to enter and then you have to walk or drive over the airport runway to enter the town. We walked the 2.5 km into town and then took the cable car to the top where I was lucky enough to get a quick glimpse over the edge of the cliff before the clouds covered it. Went and explored the caves of which there is 33 miles of them carved into the rock in different areas, then walked down to an old castle and then back into town and walked back to the car. Then I drove back in and drove around the entire Gibraltar and back into Spain and to our lovely hotel 10km away.
The following day we drove through the countryside for hours to Ronda. The rolling hills as far as the eye can see are a rich green from all the rains they received a month ago and combined with the villages that are hanging off the cliffs all painted white with orange roof, makes for some spectacular scenery.
Ronda is 100 km west of Malaga with a population of 37 000 and sits on a hillside and is a beautiful siight from below with it's famous bridge Puente Nuevo which spans the canyon and was built in 1751 and took 42 years to build and is 390 ft tall.
