Cordoba & Granada

---

Hola todos !
After a week of relaxing by a pool with friends, and speaking Dutch, it was time for some days on my own walking, walking, walking and then walking. And speaking Español..... (the little that I know. And most tourist are Spanish, Italian or German....)

It is around 30 degrees during the day, so pretty hot to walk around. But fun to stroll around new places.

Cordoba was very pittoresque with the amazing Mezquita mosque (a catholic ¨cathedral¨was later added inside the mosque !!). Very interesting. The room I had in the ¨hostales¨ was on the ground floor, facing the inner courtyard where the breakfast room was. So very dark, and not a place to relax in the evening. Found a very nice Arabic tea house in the small streets, so a nice place to sit down.

Tuesday on to Granada which is a larger city compared to Cordoba and of course has the Alhambra as the tourist attraction. Great palace and gardens, and excellent view over the city. Also walked around in the old muslim quarters on the other side of the hill.

Tomorrow I take the bus to Seville where Julie is joining me and we head down for a week at the beach in Tarifa on Sunday. Now I´m heading for a pedicure - my feet need some TLC !!!!!!!!!

Besos y hasta luego 😊

You lucky bugger! : )) Seems like you´re having a great time. Enjoy the warm weather, it´s around 12 degrees in Sweden. Spain sounds much better! My dear old computer is on repair, so I´m sitting after work-hours at the free computers at the city library, with a lot of students. : ) (All too young for me though sadly.) Enjoy the coming week, looking forward to the upcoming adventures! : ) Big hug Cecilia
