      Nice pics!
      Did you visit the stairs in Ronda? If not then you have a good reason to visit Ronda again 😇
      BTW: the plastic caps attached to bottles are mandatory in the EU in order to avoid plastic littering.

        Very cool pictures! I particularly liked the Toledo ones.

        Education is extremely important.

          Did a lot of walking and took a lot of stairs in Toledo, but not sure if one set was more famous than another. They were all pretty cool!!

          Re: bottle caps. Makes sense!!

            Love these! Makes me want to go back, this time see Gibralter.
            Madrid and Toledo look exactly as I remember from my travels over two Easter weeks in 1985!
            Memorable Toledo was medieval except for the railway station. I stayed in a pension near the castle, sharing a room with a young army lad; very hot weather and you could reach out the window and literally touch someone reaching from the bedroom opposite.
            Spaniards siesta for 3 hours to avoid the afternoon heat, finish work at 7 and go for a walk & eat in the cool of the evening. Good life as I recall.

              Ha, we cross posted. I’ll have lunch in the Plaza Mayor tomorrow.

              Bottle cap thingy is a mandatory annoyance in the EU. That’s what counts for innovation there these days.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                You don't lose the bottle cap, and can reuse the bottle for water. It's good.

                  @AndyD Yeah, but if you like drinking from a bottle, these caps are a nuisance.

                        Great minds think alike. First evening there, had lunch in the Plaza. Nice to sit there, but I was told that the restaurants are nothing special.

                        If you get a chance, try to have dinner and see the flamenco at Corral de la Moreria. Well worth it.

                                  One thing I learned is that the traditional meat in paella is rabbit. I was offered to have it made with rabbit, but I turned it down. LOL

                                  Taiwanese eat some pretty weird things, but rabbits seem too cute to eat. 555
