Today Abbey Road students visited Ronda y Arcos. Ronda might not be the first thing that pops up when you research Andalucía, but Ronda is the third most visited city in the region. It seems that after people visit it they share with their friends and family how amazing this city is. It was declared a city in the late IV century A.D. (or D.C. –después de Cristo- en español) by Julius Cesar. Our students were immersed in antiquity visiting Roman ruins, and all of the sudden, they are in the presence of the oldest bullfighting ring in the entire country. Abbey Road students visited the museum where they could see the first matador costumes and artifacts related to the art, and about the importance and the earlier cultural value of bullfighting.
After Ronda, Abbey Road students visited Arcos, one of the most stunning ancient white cities in Andalusia. This city was built at the top and on a side of a cliff. Besides conquering the challenges of walking on a very steep terrain, our students also learn the art of “owl whispering”. AS you can see in the pictures they seemed very comfortable around these enigmatic creatures (cue Rocky’s music).
