Ronda, atop the sheer cliffs of the El Tajo gorge in Andalusia, Spain

Picturesque white-washed buildings of the Spanish town of Ronda, a prominent example of Andalusias pueblos blancos, meaning white villages, perched dramatically atop the sheer cliffs of the El Tajo gorge, a deep chasm carved by the Guadalevin River that impressively splits the city in two. The image showcases the traditional Andalusian architecture, with its bright white facades and terracotta roofs, contrasting with the rugged, textured rock face of the cliff. Lush green vegetation clings to the slopes and fills the gorge below, adding a vibrant natural element to this iconic Spanish scene.
