Timetable of Processions for Easter Week (Semana Santa) in Ronda 2012
Many new residents to Spain become easily confused when going to a Spanish supermarket or local grocer when the items they would normally buy back home don’t seem to be available, and in Ronda things are no better. Actually most items are readily available but their Spanish name may be so different that you never find the item.
Spain remains the most popular foreign destination for British property buyers, despite a downturn in the economy and the crisis affecting the Eurozone.
The Sierra de Grazalema is one of the most scenically stunning areas in the whole of Spain. It is a diverse UNESCO Biosphere Park containing habitats ranging from mixed oak woodlands, pine forest and upland pastures to high mountains where life clings-on in the extremes of seasonal climate change. Temperatures are wide-ranging throughout the park influenced by altitudes from 400m to 1600m above sea level, as well as the eastern areas benefiting from the Mediterranean climate the western facing slopes are affected by the Atlantic climate. Unsurprisingly such a varied habitat and range of altitudes produces a great diversity in flora and fauna. Our ABS Field Meeting for December visited this important area and gave attending members a chance to marvel at the landscape and, as always, enjoy each others company.
