Ronda, a jewel in Andalusia, played an important part on the borderlands of the Nazrid Kingdom and the Christian lands.

Rafael Anderson, architect, living and working in Andalusia will take us on a journey to Arabic times when Ronda lay on the border between Christian and Muslim states. This citadel in the sky, protected by rugged mountains, has become a land of fable. We will be looking at wonderful architecture that can still be seen in Ronda like the Arab baths, the minaret and the watermines which are the largest in Spain.

Raphael Anderson
Raphael Anderson spent this earlier architectural career working in London, Scandinavia, India and Hong Kong. 12 years ago he came to Spain where he was practised mainly in the Alpujarra region, Granada. He was a particular interest in Spanish history and architecture.
