Whimsical twilight in Ronda, Espana

Aren't these clouds amazing?

The next town on our tour of Andalucia was Ronda. It stands on a towering plateau in the mountains of Malaga Province, and is famous through Spain for the plunging river gorge which divides the medieval from the 18th century parts of the town. This gorge is known as "El Tajo" and produces some of the most amazing sunsets and cloud formations.

The surrounding countryside on the drive to Ronda is breathtaking with its dramatic hills and steep walled plateaus giving way to green manicured fields, autumn colors and the odd medieval castle.

It's probably just another picture of a postcard. They've done it before. Beware!
