Our next visit, to the original Ronda, is a good lesson in civic planning. If you locate your town on a nice rolling plain instead of a giant rock, it ends up in little piles of rubble. Actually this is all that's left of the Roman settlement 2,000 years ago. It's mostly a large empty field, filled with cow shit and the occasional pile of rubble, with a couple of vicious dogs wandering about. But at the end of the field, there is a fairly well-preserved amphitheatre. Not worth making a detour for, but if you're driving by and your car breaks down in front of it, it's not a bad place to wait until the tow truck arrives.
