Marbella and Ronda Spain | Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Guide
Marbella was the last city we visited on our trip to southern Spain. By this point, we were ready to finish up our vacation with some relaxation along the Mediterranean. To get there, we hopped on a bus and then took a taxi to the the gorgeous Urban Villa boutique hotel. The Urban Villa is located atop a mountain overlooking the sea and the city below. The views are fantastic! You can even see Morocco across the way. We feel so blessed to have been able to stay at such a lovely inn. During our time here we visited the beach and dipped our toes in the chilly sea water. Some locals were actually swimming, but it was wayyy too cold for us. As we walked along, we entered a nude beach full of naked old men sunbathing and reading the paper. We convinced ourselves that the beautiful young people must only go to nude beaches in the Summer. At this point we were by far the youngest people there. And yes, we did get naked and force ourselves into the water. It would be a shame not to experience a Spanish nude beach to its fullest extent, wouldn’t it?
One of our favorite things about the south of Spain was our trip to the city of Ronda. Ronda is a very old town situated atop a cliff, surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Looking at it from below, Ronda looks like something out of a fairy tale. The aqueduct carved out of the cliffside is just the icing on the cake. To get there, you either take a bus ride or rent a car to go at your own pace. Well, we did the latter, and it was quite the experience. The winding drive to Ronda was definitely a bit of an adrenaline rush, but we were rewarded with some lovely views of the sunset over the Sierras on our return. This was just such a lovely and inspiring trip. Please let us know how you like the photos!
