LIVING ON THE EDGE

Welcome to Ronda , a beautiful city in southern Spain which is split in two by el tajo gorge. As a result, certain buildings have been perched on the edge of the gorge’s verticall walls, enormous cliffs bridged by the 200 year old peunte neuvo.

This is Bonifacio in Corsica.
This fragile looking citadel sits precariously above limestone cliffs which over the years have been battered by the Mediterranean sea, a process which is apparent by both the piles of eroded stone at the base and the overhang of the cliff walls. How long before the next building gets swallowed?
No idea, but from the look of the first photo it can’t be long.
