OK so we love our house sitting lifestyle but once in a while a hotel stay beckons. This weekend we decided to hit the rad to Ronda about 45 miles north from Benalmadena, a drive through some really spectacular scenery at one stop we could see Gibraltar in the distance. Because of the twisting, narrow, road the drive takes around an hour and twenty minutes, but so worth it.
We were originally going the previous weekend and had booked a hotel in Ronda town centre unfortunately John wasn't feeling his best and we cancelled and this time had to choose another due to our first choice being full I'm I so glad! We found an absolute gem Hotel La Fuente de la Higuera
an old olive mill just outside of Ronda it really is an oasis of peace and tranquility. No television and in three days not one person had a mobile device attached to their person. In the restaurant people were actually having conversations, with just lovely music in the background instead of ring tones!! The weekend was simply wonderful!!

Unfortunately the weather didn't co-operate it was cold, wet and windy, not the best conditions for taking in this ancient town. Regardless of the weather we could appreciate the spectacular setting we will return soon, hopefully in the sunshine!
