Ronda itself is two towns in one. There is
the old Moorish town, whose winding lanes play
strange freaks of ups and downs, full of quaint
small houses with heavy walnut doors and heav
lily grated windows, sheltered by the old Arab
towers and walls, perched a spur Of the hills,
crced by the Guadelevin which girdles it as the
Tagus does the city of Toledo There is the
town, which is more or less typical Spanish
town of badly paved streets and low white
washed houses, but which is the most interesting
to the neighbors of Ronda, since it contains the
Plaza de Toros where the Andalusian bull pro-
vides brave sport during the annual Feria, one
of the most interesting fairs in Spain, and which
possesses this striking advantage-that the car
