• 1st leg -Castle fort at Niebla

    24 Januari 2024, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    We spent a quiet night at the free spot last night and skirted round Seville in slightly complicated fashion, then stopped to shop at a Carrefour. I thought the Brits were meant to be good at queuing but they had a system of queuing at a gateway. It's announced when you can advance to a till, giving a number. No self service. Not a bit like Aldi in the UK. For one, it means you can't start unloading your shopping onto the belt until the previous person has paid. For two, there was just one person on the till at one point and quite a queue formed. Myself and others with just one or two items were behind a fully loaded trolley. So it wasn't an efficient system like Aldi. But hey ... mañana.
    We had tea and coffee with rare Spanish music on a sun terrace above the shopping mall, which was both fun and cheap at just €2.16 in total (£1.85)!
    We found the main road a bit boring so came off onto a parallel road and stopped when we saw some huge fort walls. We walked around it and eventually found an entrance. The price was just €3 each for pensioners and it was really interesting. Especially full screen videos of actors in period costume telling you about their lives. They spoke in Spanish but you could select British or Catalan subtitles. The dungeons were pretty grim and creepy, a maze of them.
