Ronda, Spain 🇪🇸

Ronda is one of the most historic and dramatic towns in southern Spain. It is located in the region of Andalusia and is famous for being built on both sides of a deep gorge called El Tajo Gorge.

The town has ancient origins dating back to Celtic and Roman times. Under the Roman Empire, it was known as Acinipo and became an important settlement. Later, Ronda flourished during the period of Al-Andalus and developed into a significant cultural and military center.

One of Ronda’s most famous landmarks is Puente Nuevo, an impressive stone bridge completed in 1793 that spans the gorge and connects the old and new parts of the city.

All California sheephead start life as female and move through an array of colors and body shapes as they mature. Some female adults may transition to male as social and environmental factors shift, balancing the delicate ratio of individuals in their population.

While male California sheephead are largest and easiest to identify at a glance, a closer look at the lively waters of our Kelp Forest exhibit reveals a variety of female sheephead swimming through these fascinating life stages.
