Hi Ralph,
I know this comment is many years old, but I would like you to DELETE part of it.
This is what your comments did to me.
After spending an incredible full day in Ronda, admiring the bridge, hiking down into the river below etc, fully experiencing the beauty of Ronda, I googled "What is highway 405 to Ronda like?"
Your comments popped up, so I read them. Now all I can think of is the horrific account of Spanish prisoners being made to jump to their deaths from the bridge. Now that beautiful valley under it makes me ill to think of it. Its a cementary of sorts. And I could not get that vision out of my head, still can't a few weeks later.
You ruined my beautiful day and memories of Ronda for good.
I wanted to write, so you remove it and no one else gets affected like I did. It should be up to an individual on their own to find out horrific information like that if they want to.
Please remove that comment asap.
Thank you

Very strange comment above. Stick your head in the sand about history if you like but to ask someone to remove a comment because you (a first time poster on this forum) find it upsetting (???)
I did not know that about the bridge and am glad to have learned something, albeit something very sad.

I knew about the tragic history but it didn't affect my enjoyment of Ronda. Terrible things happened in the past, especially in war or civil war situation, and we just need to take note and move on. Did you know Nazis tortured prisoners under the Eiffel Tower?
