Bandoleros
Bandolero is the Spanish name for a lawless mugger . The bandoleros, who were mostly up to mischief in Andalusia , were also considered true freedom fighters and benefactors for the poor in Spain , who only robbed the rich and shared their booty with the poor.
One of these Spanish Robin Hoods was José María Hinojosa , aka "El Tempranillo". He is said to have always removed their rings from the ladies with a kiss on the hand and the compliment that such a beautiful hand does not need jewelry. He was active in what is now the Sierra de Grazalema National Park near Ronda .
Juan Mingolla Gallardo , aka "Pasos Largos", who raged as a poacher, is considered one of the last great bandoleros and was killed in an exchange of fire with the police in 1934.
Another famous bandolero was El Tragabuche . Once a famous bullfighter in Ronda, he had to flee the police after killing his wife and her lover.
Ronda, a small town in the Andalusian province of Málaga ( Spain ), also known as the city of robbers, has a Bandolero Museum, which shows weapons, historical pictures and clothing of the bandits.
