Day 37 - Hotel - A day trip to Cordoba

Tues 20th May 2014
We all got on so well last night that when the English guests, Jeremy & Kathy, mentioned that they fancied going to Cordoba in the morning, it was decided we would all go together! Jeremy (a Doctor) was very pleased that he didn't have to drive so again we all piled into Alan's car a drove about  2 hours to the beautiful city of Cordoba. David & I have already been there but were glad to go back. This picture was taken at a riding school which Kathy loved as she has her own horse at home (Bury St Edmonds UK).


Just outside the palace. We had been in before so we waited outside while the others went in.


We had drinks and lots of Tapas.

Behind you can see some of The Cathedral of Cordoba. It was amazing inside as the original Mosque was inside the cathedral!!!!!


It was huge - never seen anything like it. http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/313/






Tea & cakes in a Moroccan tea house





Cordoba is very pretty and lots of people have their courtyards open to view.

After a long day we arrived back at the hotel and all had dinner together - Alan's cheese/onion & mustard pie with a lovely salad. Hope is leaving tomorrow to go to her next Workaway/HelpX in Granada - David & I are going to meet here there as we have booked tickets for the Alhambra on the 5th June. So saying goodbye to her in the morning won't be too sad.
