The mishap went like this: we were hungry, so we stopped in and ordered some pastries. When she handed us the pastries, Hubby handed her the credit card. She said (in spanish of course) "No, no cards, only cash please". We of course had not stopped for cash yet. Mistake #1. So Alex said, ok, I'll run to a cash machine and get some. But she said we should sit and eat first, he could get the cash later. So we ate. Mistake #2. I stayed at the Cafe while Hubby ran to the cash machine. While he was out, I watched the Federer/Nadal tennis match, thinking silly things like: "Oh this is so fun, this will be a great story to tell!" or "This is something that people do in movies!" or even better "this is kind of romantic!". Forty-five minutes later, Alex comes back. Without cash. Because we didn't have the PIN number for our credit card, and we didn't bring our debit cards with us that day. Mistake #3.
We decided the best thing to do was to ask our hostess what she thought would be best since we were out of ideas. She was very kind, and said to come back and pay her tomorrow since we were so far from our hotel and she would be closing soon. We love opportunities to be honest!
So we spent the remainder of that afternoon walking around the BEAUTIFUL city of Ronda, then came back the next day for some more! On Monday, day 2, we ate lunch at the Hotel Don Miguel which is right on the chasm that splits the city. We had the most beautiful view, and the food was fantastic. Our first taste of Gazpacho was to die for!
Hotel and Restaurant Don Miguel. The bridge below is just to the left of it, we were standing on the end of the bridge to take the picture.
Lunch, and the view at Hotel Don Miguel!
Ronda is famous for its bull fighting ring.
