A Garden Walk in Ronda Countryside
Our hotel in Ronda is situated on a hillside with beautiful views of mountains and farmland covered with wild flowers, oak trees, and olive trees.
As soon as we dropped off our luggages, I walked into the garden through the gate, and I was delighted …
The sound of water, fragrance of plants and flowers, fresh air, and bird singing make you want to stay there…
More to enjoy through this beautiful gate:
— When I was back in the hotel courtyard, I didn’t realize S and J was up there looking out from one of their room windows. “Hey, Amy! Where have you been? Taking more pictures?”…. I asked J if he could move to the other window and let me take a pic for them, and he did. I hope they are pleased with this photo. 🙂
You don’t want to miss Jo’s BARRIL BEACH walk and other fabulous entries. Hope you’ll join us.
Thank you for visiting 🙂
A wonderful walk Amy. The photo of S and J turned out brilliantly!

Oh Amy – S and J at the end made the walk really come alive in a special way. huge smile with that.
also, loved the shadows and light on the ground in some of the shots – and while it is hard to pick just one photo – because they all tell the story of your fragrant walk 🙂 – but I really like the one that is preceded with “More to enjoy through this beautiful gate…” and the two planters, play with light and shadows, different greens, vertical elements – and that blue sky – well that shot was the crux of the walk for me. enjoyed this much –
have a nice day my friend. ❤

This looks like a lovely place to stay Amy – what is it? A hotel or a guest house? I’d love to return to that area as I have only passed through once. And I love your last photo – a great shot!

Hi Dragon, That’s a cool question. The hotel was converted from a 18th century farm house. It’s not a big fancy hotel (not sure how many rooms), but each room is small, but pleasant and practical. We even had a dinner in the hotel, Vegetables were picked from their garden. I shall do another one next week. I think you will like it. Thank you 🙂
