I Really Really Love Ronda, Part Three: The Waterfalls

-
Hiking to the waterfall took my stay in Ronda to another level. The hike itself was very challenging, and involved a lot of climbing large rocks and problem solving and risk taking. You want to swim in the falls? You got to earn it.

Here are some pictures of the "path":



My first attempt to get to the falls was during the dusk, and I went with another solo traveler from Austria. We got 3/4 of the way there, because we were short on time (no way I am getting stuck there in the dark) and also because we did not think it was possible to go further. We enjoyed the small pool of water and small waterfall we arrived to.



The next day I learned that there was a bigger and better waterfall, and so I went on attempt number two with my Estonian roommate. She knew what she was doing. Once there, we spent some time at the falls, watching rock climbers and cliff jumpers (I was not so bold), soaking in sun, and taking dips in the water.




So. If this sort of activity appeals to you, and you are traveling in Spain, I highly recommend going to Ronda and staying for at least two nights at Los Molinos.

I have developed a habit of saying, "I'm coming," but I can't be saying this in the U.S., lest I get some odd looks... "Flash" is a term meaning calling someone on their cell phone but hanging up before they answer. This is so either they can have your number or to tell them to call you so the call is on their phone credit and not yours. So don't be alarmed of a Ghanaian friend asks you to flash them.  "Dash"  essentially means  give.  For instance, if I was shopping for fruit and I bought three apples, the woman selling might give me a fourth apple and say, "I dash you one." This happens sometimes when you have a good relationship wi...

I AM A PACKING CHAMPION!

Because my travel plans in South Africa were slightly altered, and now I will NOT be returning to Melinda's place in Escourt after the hike, I have to bring ALL my luggage with me on the hike. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. So I fit everything I am bringing to Africa in one backpack and one personal bag. Because I am basically a packing professional. And I am very good at getting by on very little. NO BIG DEAL ;-) Here I am, all packed and ready to go! "Travel light, live light, be light, spread the light."
