Hunting the Borderlands in Ronda

Tuesday, January 28, 2025
Ronda is an intricate jewel in Andalusia, dense with beauty and symbolism. Its character has largely been defined by the role it played on the borderlands of the Nazrid kingdom, that diaphanous frontier continually in flux, expanding and contracting over centuries in the delicate negotiation between Christian and Muslim states. This citadel in the sky, protected by the rugged Serrania, has become a land of fable on both sides, and we will weave our story across these borderlands to discover the treasures within.
