Two weekends ago we did not have any planned excursions through our program, so six of us decided to go away for the weekend. Originally we were unsure of where we wanted to go, but eventually we settled on Malaga and Ronda. Since we only decided to go away that Friday before the weekend started this trip was very spur of the moment and there was no set plan. Normally I am a planner, but I really enjoyed just going away without an itinerary and figuring it out as we went. Saturday morning the six of us woke up early to go to the bus station to get tickets to Malaga and then we went back to get our stuff and to book a hostel, which we ended up doing without knowing anything about it. When we got to Malaga we had a quick meal and then went to find our hostel. Upon getting to the hostel we were all pleasantly surprised because it was a really cool place (aside from the showers not working) and all six of us were able to sleep in bunk beds in the same room. For the rest of the day we went to the beach and then walked a path that allowed us to see the Sea and the whole city of Malaga. The following morning we purchased tickets to Ronda. Ronda is a place that many people have never heard of or think about visiting when they come to Spain, but it is truly spectacular. I can't even begin to describe how amazing it is because it was just so beautiful (so many cliffs and waterfalls). We spent the entire day walking around Ronda and then returned to Seville at night exhausted, but very happy with the weekend.
