Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")

São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.

Ronda, Spain: White Sky City on a Cliff

Ronda, located in the province of Málaga in the Andalusia region of Spain, is a legendary town built on a cliff 750 meters above sea level. Known as the "birthplace of modern bullfighting" and the "city in the sky," its old town is connected to its new town by the iconic Puente Nuevo Bridge, under which the 100-meter-deep El Tajo Canyon forms a stunning visual spectacle.

Historical and Cultural Landmarks

Ronda's history dates back to Roman times and reached its peak during the Moorish rule. It is home to the oldest bullring in Spain, the Plaza de Toros, built in 1785. The old town retains Moorish architecture, such as the ruins of the Arab baths and the main church of the Virgin Mary. Ernest Hemingway made Ronda world-famous by describing its romance and treachery in For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Natural Landscapes and Tourist Experiences

Visitors can stroll the cliff walks overlooking the breathtaking views of the Guadalavan Valley or explore the hiking trails of the Ronda Natural Park. Local specialties include cold Andalusian soup and mountain ham. About a 1.5-hour drive from Malaga, spring and fall are the best seasons to visit to escape the heat and enjoy the hills of olive trees and white mountain flowers.
