"I found the authentic Spain in a hidden corner of Andalusia," headlines the prestigious UK newspaper The Times in an article referring to a special trip to one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, also in Málaga, such as Ronda, as well as recommending other white villages located in the Serranía de Ronda, such as Montejaque.

"I searched everywhere for the city of dreams and found it here, in Ronda", they openly say about Ronda and all the mysticism and beauty that surrounds this village that crowns the Serranía de Ronda, which gives it its name and shape, lustre and entity, known as the City of the Tajo, precisely one of the points most praised: "In Ronda, I find myself at the New Bridge, the bridge over the gorge... Further on, to the west, there are hills that roll into a range of bluish-gray mountains."

"Teetering on the edge of the Tajo river gorge, Ronda, a 90-minute drive west of Málaga, remains the most spectacular urban setting in Europe," they claim about Ronda, adding: "Its cradle of white streets is haunted by the ghosts of Moorish princes, with the sound of guitars and the tinkling of fountains as a soundtrack."

But it is not the only municipality in Málaga they mention in their extensive journey through the 'authentic Spain,' as after a hike they arrive at Montejaque, "a wild and remote place of holm oaks and blue-silver agaves nestled between mountains," of which they mention its hermitage and that painting "hanging in the gloom over a lace-covered altar." Indeed, for The Times, "Montejaque is a white pond hollowed out by peaks, its terracotta roofs undulating. The center is a place of snakes and ladders. Its streets rise steeply, turn and then fall again."

In a final nod to Ronda and Montejaque, The Times concludes that "beyond the vineyard, under a vibrant sky, lies a white village among hills; a patch of salt on a roll of copper-colored silk" and they finish: "Old Spain is still there. It's not that you need to know where to look. You need to know how."
