Located on a mountaintop above the El Tajo gorge, the village of Ronda is truly a white gem in the bluest skies over Andalusia.

This Way to the Whole Story ->I’m so happy to guide you to Cadiz, according to archeological founds, not only the oldest city in Spain but in all of Europe.
However, it’s difficult to define the date of its founding as there were no written records at past times. According to historians, Phoenician traders founded Cádiz as their first settlement in Europe over 3,000 years ago.
