To Córdoba

Caught the train to Zafra early this morning. We had time for a coffee and pastry there before catching a bus to Córdoba. Spanish busses are much nicer than in the US. Clean, and better seats than the airlines.

Córdoba is a good sized city. We’re staying in the old city, with narrow streets and alleys. A lot of the houses and alleys are decorated with plants and flowers, really beautiful.

The weather has finally changed to warm, Mediterranean. Nice after the cool, rainy weather we’ve seen so far. It got up to 80 today. Now we can complain about the heat!

Walked around the Old City after dinner. Walked across the old Roman bridge, still a magnificent main pedestrian walkway connecting the parks along the river.

On the way back to our hotel we got caught behind an Easter procession, again! They were moving one of the platforms they use to carry a religious statue, presumably to storage until it’s needed for the next religious procession. Even empty, it still looks like a lot of work!Read more
