Ronda- a far from “neat” history; Cadiz-
a bit like Venice; but then not
“It’s a neat town”, said a
member of an American tour party sitting nearby. “Neat”, applied to Ronda,
probably translates as “dramatic, well-preserved, easily navigated on foot, and
with good facilities for visitors”. All
true. But to an English ear, “neat” also suggests “tidy” or even “tame”.
Applied to Ronda’s recent history, very much untrue.
