Flight
HERE IS SOME USEFUL INFORMATION FOR PLANNING YOUR TRIP: RONDA, SPAIN, the location of the wedding, is in Andalucia, Southern Spain. (For reference, it's about two hours west of Granada and two hours south of Sevilla.) The way to get to Ronda is through Malaga. You can't fly direct from the US to Malaga, but you can fly to Malaga from any major city in Europe. USA > EUROPE > MALAGA > RONDA Assuming you're not doing any other traveling other than the wedding, you're looking for two flights: A roundtrip from the USA to a European city, and a round trip from that same European city to Malaga. 1) USA TO EUROPE - You want the flight to be direct (non-stop) and it shouldn't be longer than 13 hours in duration. Aim for an economy roundtrip ticket around $600, economy plus should be around $900. Nick and Lysbett are flying to London on Virgin Atlantic, 10-hour flight. 2) EUROPE TO MALAGA - Cities in Europe that fly to Malaga include Madrid, Barcelona, London, Paris, and Madrid, but there are more. This flight should be non-stop, 3 hours in duration or less, and shouldn't cost more than $300. ONCE IN MALAGA: IF YOU ARE GOING TO TARIFA: Get there from Malaga by car or bus (either way, about 90 minutes). A car offers more freedom, a bus is less hassle.

We encourage you to explore Airbnb options in the old town center. Ronda is very walkable! NOTE: Don't count on Ubers being available. If you don't rent a car, getting housing too far from Ronda's old town area would make getting around difficult. There COULD be ubers, but don't count on it. Here are a few popular areas to look for accommodations: * Centro de Interpretación del Puente Nuevo * Paseo De Los Ingleses * Carrera Espinel (This is a central street with shops, restaurants, and places to walk)
Hotel
These are all in or around Ronda's old town: * Parador de Ronda * Hotel Catalonia Ronda * Casa Palacio VillaZambra * Hotel Montelirio * Hotel Catalonia Reina Victoria

Tarifa is where Nick and Lysbett lived for ten months and is very special to them. Tarifa is the southernmost beach town in Spain (and all of Europe) and rests where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. You can wave to Morroco from the beach! Tarifa is the perfect place for history lovers AND beach lovers. We recommend you stay in Old Town but there are many beautiful accommodations along the coast that are not far from Old Town Tarifa, especially if you have a car. The bus system in Tarifa is also very easy to navigate. There are more AirBNBs in Tarifa than hotels, but here are a few hotel options: * La Sacristia * La Residencia Tarifa * La Residencia Puerto Hotel & Spa * Misiana Hotel
