    We had a good night's sleep and set off this morning on a last wander round Seville old town. Bought coffee in a small coffee bar and continued to jardines du morelles where we sat in the sun and had a picnic breakfast.
    We walked all along by th alcazar and then sneaked into the beautiful teatro Lope de Vega. After taking pics outside, I spotted open doors. In we went. We were then remonstrated with, for being inside, when the theatre is not open to the public! This man escorted us on the way out, but on learning we are English, he asked Manuel, his mate, to light up the auditorium for us. It was lovely and we thanked him mucho!🤣
    It was now time to retrace our steps. On the way, we popped in to the Hospital de Los Venerables which was also lovely.
    Wandered round the old town, narrow streets, eventually dragging ourselves away to collect our cases. Said goodbye to the man at the hotel and took a taxi to the station.
    Our train left on time and we arrived at Cordoba about 14.20. Grabbed a taxi and went on a hair -raising journey to our hotel. Booked in, dumped everything, and off we went. First stop Alcazar at 16.00. The gardens were beautiful, but not a lot to recommend the Alcazar inside. We took pics of the Puente Romana and then wentb to find alcoholic refreshment in the sun. Met some people from Leeds and later had dinner in the Judaian quarter in the Umaueyon Restaurant run by Muslims. Delicious food. Now back at Pension International resting our feet. Mezquita tomorrow and the Synagoga, then back to Torremolonos!
