Spain 2013, Ronda - Casa del Rey Moro (8.4.13)

Moving to the southern side of Ronda, our first stop was an 18th century mansion built on Moorish foundations. It had a lovely terrace with pretty little pools and flower beds and with excellent views of the gorge and the countryside to the east. Soothing for the soul.

Not so soothing, but one that amused Abdullah, is the legend that the original Moorish palace was the residence of a king who used to drink wine from the skulls of those he'd beheaded. Such is legend...
