[edit] Ronda was the place where republicans murdered nationalists, by pushing them off the cliffs.
Just the opposite of the "facts" of the article.
This is exactly what Hemmingway describes in his book. The event really took place during the first days of the civil war, before the republicans tasted the nationalists revenge.
The Spanish republican hero in Hemmingways book (Pilar's husbend) describes the massacre, and has some remorse about it. Especially because some of the victims were ordinary peace-loving citizens (while others were bloody aristocrats). The event is described as taking place in a Castilla town, but the cliff-throwing event matches the Ronda story. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.8.117.126 (talk) 15:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Rilke
I'm not particularly active on Wikipedia right now, but someone should certainly add material about Rainer Maria Rilke, who spent considerable time here; it was reportedly his favorite place. There are several things named after him in Ronda including (weirdly) a driving school. - Jmabel | Talk 20:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] If someone is looking for a project...
... a tremendous amount could be done here. There are quite a few famous buildings in Ronda that are, at best, given a bare mention here. [1] might provide good guidance. I believe we have pictures on Commons of about half of the buildings in question, although not all of them are ideal. The Spanish and German articles are both more extensive, and might prove useful. (Another good project would be if anyone is in Ronda, take pictures with this encyclopedia in mind.) - Jmabel | Talk 15:23, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] External Link
I included a link to "Spain's Scary Corner" It's a walk around Ronda with its special scares. Scribbleman 17:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- Please wait for a response on this talkpage when you announce your intentions to include these Terje Raa travel stories. Don’t include them yourself, as including these links are your only contributions here, you seem to have a conflict of interest. Please wait for community input, thanks. --Van helsing 12:37, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
