We’ll cover Ronda’s many historic landmarks during the Friday morning walking tour. These are our recommendations for shopping, eating, and drinking: Tragatá - non-traditional tapas bar owned and operated by famous chef Benito Gomez. His other Ronda restaurant, Bardal, has 2 Michelin stars. Tabanco Los Arcos - traditional tapas located right next to the bridge in old town. Jamoneria Berrocal - great shopping for local products (jamon, olive oil, etc). Mantas Grazalema - boutique selling local wool products such as scarves, blankets, handbags, and other accessories. Calzados Garzón - hole-in-the-wall shoe shop selling Spanish style espadrilles. Dulces del Califa - Moroccan bakery (and also where the wedding dessert is from!). The mint tea is delicious. Pedro Romero - most iconic restaurant in Ronda serving traditional food, located right across from the bull ring. Pura Cepa - another great wine bar centrally located with great outdoor seating.
Andalucía has so much to offer. If you plan on traveling before or after the wedding, here are our recommendations: Cádiz - ancient port city that sits on the Atlantic. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe. Sherry triangle - the region in which sherry wine is produced. Just tell Jack if you’re going and he’ll give you all the recs. Granada - set at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains and most famous for the Alhambra, a Moorish palace that’s one of the best examples of Islamic architecture. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Córdoba - Andalucian city most known for its mix of Roman, Moorish and Spanish culture. The Mezquita, formerly a mosque and now a cathedral, is the most famous site. Sevilla - the capital and largest city in Andalucia. Tangier, Morocco - if you’re feeling adventurous, Tangier is an easy destination. There’s a train from Ronda to Algeciras, where you can get the ferry to Tangier across the Strait of Gibraltar.
