You leave Seville before dawn and the highway unfurls like a ribbon across Andalusia. Low hills roll past olive groves and, as you climb toward the Serranía de Ronda, the air cools; the Tajo gorge appears suddenly, a stone throat cleaving the town of Ronda. From the bridge the gorge feels alive—rock faces daring you to look down, wind pushing at your shoulders.
