We chose the best day for an "adventurous" road trip - at the arrival in Gibraltar we cough a thunderstorm!
First we went to Ronda and saw probably one of the most beautiful bridges ever built - Puente Nuevo! It's connecting 2 parts of the city Ronda, opened at the very end of 18th century, reaching 98m of height. It have taken quite some people lives - first during its construction 50 workers have died, and later during the civil war, a chamber in the bridge was used as a prison, where prisoners were thrown down through the windows.
Well, in Ronda the weather was windy and rainy, but still quite ok.
We headed to Gibraltar and were happy to find that we can keep on driving on the right side :) When we finally arrived at the cape, a heavy rain started. For few minutes, wearing a rain coat, we manages to get out of the car, take few pictures and observe the angry waves of the sea. The Rock of Gibraltar, that stretches through the middle of Gibraltar, is more than 400m high and contains many tunneled roads that are opened only for military.
Interestingly, the last referendum of Spanish sovereignty was organised in 2002, which Gibraltarians, of course, rejected.
On the way back we had to turn around and look for another way. The rain water collected on the street deep enough, that one car in front of us left standing in the huge puddle. The city was full of water and further on most of the road was very rainy and windy. We're happy to be safe at home now :)
Oh, yes, and we were in Los Angelos :D (see in pictures).
